Those who allege that Italian tanks have 5 gears (four of them

reverse) will be happy to add another target to their range. The

highly-successful soccer team Inter Milan has cancelled

a tour of England, despite being scheduled to play only one their

four matches in London. Their weasel words explaining why (respect

for events that “touch the sensitivity of everyone”) will fool no-one.

In fact, even Red Ken has seen through them, saying, “The terrorists

I am sure will be celebrating their decision.” I imagine Silvio

Berlusconi, owner of rival team AC Milan, will be ready to make

something out of this too.
