Re: Politics in General
There were protesters at last year's British grand prix, they ran onto the track during the first lap, after the race had already been red flagged due to a crash. This ensured that all they did was get booed by the rest of the crowd and they got precisely zero TV time.

Re: This house believes Countdown is the greatest gameshow of all time
