A public letter to the England team with far too much punctuation. It hurts my eyes!!

I think the letter is ok, but the 4th sentence should be in 3rd position. It keeps jumping between the team players and the people of the country.

I think its entirely proper for the PM to have gone to the semi final and that he goes to the Final, no question.

Wearing a football shirt over his shirt and tie, not so much. grin It's part of the dressing up thing. I think he thinks it makes him look like "one of us".

I think the letter is fine, a bit bullet point-y perhaps but the sentiments are the right ones.

Nothing wrong with the letter.

It’s fine, a good gesture.

Let’s face it what ever he does it will be unacceptable or wrong for some
The letter was short and to the point
Football shirt over his shirt and tie wouldn’t have expected anything else

I think that we ought to put a full stop to this, for a period
