Wonderful coverage on all news channels of the rescue of those incredible miners in northern Chile. What passionate pride they and their friends and families have shown in their country.
Ask any Chilean and he will tell you that this was a hundred times better than winning any World Cup. This with a squad of 33 plus the rescue workers, all of whose weekly salaries, added together, including that of the Mines Minister Laurence Golbourne, are a fraction of those enjoyed by Wayne Rooney and the like.
