I AM horrified that there are thousands of voters living in my home town who think black footballers should not be allowed to play for England.

If the England First Party applied the same criteria to Rovers, and we couldn't have black or non-English players, we'd be left with just three players and no manager.

I thought loony policies died out when dear old Screaming Lord Sutch passed on, but they are clearly alive and kicking in Blackburn.
