Hundreds of schoolchildren caught up in an alleged World Cup ticket fraud will get to watch a game after government talks with Fifa, Downing Street said.

Another blogger has said it much better (and in a funnier way) than I can do here.

So children, lesson of the day: if fuckwit incompetents order tickets from a blatantly unreputable source and they don’t deliver on their promises, don’t worry! Populist Tony will bail you out! Isn’t our great leader so generous? All hail the Maximum Tone!
