The Wardman Wire

Poons takes a sideswipe at the game of table tennis. Not being one to put up with ill-informed prejudice, I think I need to respond.

He also says:

There is a parliamentary group that is set up (and i (sic) quote)

 

To advance the cause of table tennis throughout the UK and in particular to promote table tennis for young people through charitable and other means; and to provide an opportunity within the parliamentary estate for members to play table tennis.

Poons also asks us to “tell him” if we “find anything more ridiculous” in the list of groups. Well, here’s one:

Football.

As a sometime local league table tennis player, I have to make the following points about table tennis:

Brilliant game, superb exercise, universally unpaid, voluntary organisers. Can be played by anyone, anywhere - literally. Top table tennis players are not overpaid, self-indulgent, yobbish, media darlings who think the sun shines from …. you get the idea.

It’s an open and shut case - football was a key networking forum for New Labour. Close the game down. NOW.
