Rockall takes centre stage in TV World Cup programmeDespite humiliation, Denmark presses claim on volcanic islet
by Nigel Pearce
Despite a sound thrashing at the hands of England's footballers, Denmark has continued to press its claim on Rockall. The incredible assertion was given airtime by ex-talent Johnny Vaughan on his World Cup Extra programme shown last Wednesday night on BBC1. His guests — including former England player Matt Le Tissier and manager John Gregory — looked visible shocked as Vaughan gave them the grim news of Denmark's unjust claim. For several seconds both were unable to look down Denise Van Outen's breast-based dress.
Despite Williams' best efforts to pretend to know nothing about "socker", the Rockall question remained high on the agenda. An angry supporter told The Rockall Times: "It is an absolute disgrace. It's one thing to have the Danes kicking up a fuss over Rockall even after a second-round arse-whupping, but to stick someone on the BBC World Cup Extra show who knows nothing about our beautiful game is nothing short of a national scandal. It shouldn't be allowed in future. Unless of course it is a busty babe in a tight low-cut dress that you can leer at." Related newsFeel free to peruse our clearly-defined policy regarding Denmark. |
