Unless you were living under a rock or Lee Anderson, you will know England won against Denmark last night and made it to their first final since 1966.
But spare a thought for Lee, who represents Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. He wrote in a Facebook post in June that the FA and England team had “made a big mistake” by taking the knee and they ran the risk of “having nothing in common with their traditional supporters”.
“For the first time in my life I will not be watching my beloved England team whilst they are supporting a political movement whose core principles aim to undermine our very way of life,” he announced.
Priti Patel and the PM have gone the other way and simply pretended they never slagged off the England team for taking a knee, but Twitter has been on hand with a few reminders.
The prime minister also wore an England shirt over his shirt and tie, which no football fan would EVER dream of, just to enforce the fact he has jumped on the bandwagon. I doubt you would ever see him in Stoke on a rainy Tuesday night in November.
Well, social media hasn’t forgotten that Mr Anderson refused to watch the games and now we could (whisper it quietly) win an actual trophy.
These are from after England’s 4-0 win against Ukraine last Saturday…
