You said Labour started the big investment in sport, it's been pointed out that they didn't.
It has also been pointed out that all governments since deserve credit for keeping it going. That's the remainder of the previous Tory government, the whole Labour government, and now the Coalition.

I'm not big Labourite, but I think they did! The previous Conservative gov did nothing that I can remember, apart from a war with Argentina, which I agree was the right thing to do before u start!Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostNo-one has suggested that.

£140 for 3 weeks of top quality entertainment both live and on TV seems like bloody good value to me. I've probably watched more TV in the last 2 weeks than I did in the 3 months beforehand.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

Whatever you might think of the lottery, one of its aims was to "start this investment in Sport", which it did, and has continued to this day. This is a fact.Originally posted by stek View PostComment
