Nottingham

a dreary town in the even drearier east midlands whose only claim to fame is the non-existent 'outlaw' Robin Hood who was a victorian work of fiction came from nearby. Every where you look there its robin hood this robin hood that and yes, you've guessed it robin hood the other.
everyone in nottingham is proud of a non-existant person because they bizarely think tourists will want to go there.

drake-brockman

A drake-brockman is an absurd belief that goes against all rational evidence, because it reinforces one's bigoted view of a race or particular group of people. Usually, a drake-brockman is the result of deliberately misrepresenting a source to make them fit your world view.
Cherry the elderly papergirl believed the drake-brockman that asylum seekers are given £300 a week and a pat on the head by the Government, after someone told her this in a post office queue one day.

the de sica believed the drake-brockman that 'many asylum seekers are guilty of serious crimes in their own country' despite the fact that when she was repeatedly asked for evidence she failed to provide any.

institutionally racist

maradona

Football player, the best of his generation undoubtedly, if not the best player of all time (cetainly the best I've seen and i've been watching football since 1974).

Famous for the so-called 'hand of god' goal against England in the 1986 world cup, demonised ever since, not as if English players ever cheat now is it?

Pathetically, was voted Scotland's 'sportsman of the century' in 1999 but this is just typical of the small minded attitude and low-level racism of most jocks.
Maradona was a great football player. What he was and is as a man is irrelevant.
