Harry Maguire after scoring an own goal against England at Hampden Park following relentless mocking from fans
Nowhere has this dystopian vision felt closer to realisation than at Hampden Park, Glasgow the other night when the England footballer– once a bold and fearless national hero, but now, for no good reason, a gaffe-prone, faltering, nervous wreck of a footballer – was jeered and taunted and mocked by Scottish supporters every time he got the ball. St George had turned into Norman Wisdom before our eyes, and, boy, how they laughed.
It is little short of bullying in plain sight, but no one cares too much because Maguire earns £190,000 a week and is a rough, tough footballer.
