Why are England fans the only ones that travel to watch their team?

In keeping with the tightly censored, PC nature of CW I should point out that "prostitute" is a slur. The accepted term nowadays is "*** worker".
I listened to that furore on Triple J months back after that lady got stabbed. Blew my mind truly.

You can call a pig with a top hat a knight of the realm but its still a pig.

I honestly wasn't even aware of it being a slur until earlier this year tbh.
To be fair, if I spent my life getting my ass slammed for hard cash I might be offended if I wasn't held in comparison with the social worker or the accountant.

Psychologists, Tax Agents, Cashiers, Managers, Prostitutes. All the same.

More and more English people who only go abroad once a year are starting to take that holiday during the winter as thanks to global warming we now get a summer of our own that includes the Sun.

In my under-15 days a team from the West Region of England (under-16) came to tour the West Indies in 2005.
We played a match at the Blairmont estate cricket ground, and to our amazement the ground was inundated with so many foreigners and with them, the England flag posted on the fences that separated the ground from the stands.

....
These were all parents, siblings, and relatives of the kids that were touring.
At the end, we were presented with special caps that the Englishmen brought with them.

Same reason they made the colonies in the first place, to escape their own ****hole of a country.

Every Tom Flint post which has anything to do with Australians or Australian cricket is invariably awful.

Points for consistency
It's supernatural how true this is

I think this time he was trying to be funny? But I'm not sure?

Kind of ironic that the "***" in "*** worker" is censored on CW, but "prostitute" gets through.

It’s to do with how advertising works iirc. I think that was the official explanation.
