Well, he is Black, so is therefore a Saint.

we the people of england think he will be forever a symbol of faith and courage.

Garth Brooks is my own personal hero though

The people of England? So the people of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are denied an opinion then?
I don't even want to think what your take would be on some foreigner's opinion, so I'll just refrain from giving it.

Hi Theonlyone,
Thanks for answering but I didn't know where else I would get a set of diverse answers that didn't just rely on biggoted answers of either side and maybe give me an idea of what the general populace thinks on an emotive subject that these sites on AB allow us
