With a narrow loss at the euros under our belt, we return off-schedule to rave about the football match and how it reflects on england as a nation! We discuss the glorification of england, the problems with the violence brought on by football, and the colonial history of britain and its monarchy. We address the opinions of our football-fan listeners and tackle the overarching question of whether we should be proud to be british.
