    A P.ie moderator stated this on June 25th 2010: P.ie tolerates very broad free speech, and thus allows sectarian bigotry etc

    Not sure if Blair is the only one qualified to play for the Irish soccer team (Irish granny), so I'll plump for a more mundane choice:

    Churchill, Callaghan and Major are the only ones not to attend university.
    I watched with glee, while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made.
