I wonder what chunk of the remaining 60% want the cockwomble dead? It's only about 15% (most of whom seem to be on here, crying and shrieking like children throwing a tantrum) who approve of the sorry little fuck, after all.
First, what the fuck is a cockwomble?
The male equivalent of a twatwaffle.

You know it would help tremendously if you British would actually speak English! I mean you people cant even use the right words in naming stuff.
Errmmm... Actually, we do speak English.
It's you Americans that bastardised it into 'American' (which isn't English).
And it was an American around two centuries ago who chose to abolish most "u"s from English to help Americans to spell (because most were uneducated pilgrims).
Webster also published his dictionary with American spellings.

For example, a device used to transport people or material in a cage is called and elevator. A lift is actually a hydrolic device used to raise automobiles to allow access to the underside.
In English, a 'lift' is anything that elevates a 'thing'.
Here, it is generally (and more specifically) used to describe the device that elevates people as apposed to other things.
If it's any other type of lift, it is usually part of the description rather than just a generic 'lift'.

And speaking of automobiles, it is a hood not a bonnet (which is a type of woman's hat) and a trunk, not a boot (which is a type of footwear)
A hood is something like a head covering that is attached to body clothing, or, (American only) a description of a nefarious person.
True, a bonnet is also a ladies hat but that's really 'olde' English and rarely used to reference hats these days.
A 'boot' describes many things apart from a certain type/style of footwear.
It is also used as a general description of things which envelop/cover other things.
Hence the cover over the back space of a car was called a boot.
As are the rubber coverings of ball joints and similar things (rubber boot).
A trunk is a big wooden box used to store and/or carry/transport personal items (usually clothing) and has been in use for that since long before the pilgrims went to the US.
So in that sense, it's you lot that have misused that word, not us.

Furthermore, I have it on good authority, that contrary to the many denials of the facts, that every terrorist organization (islamic or otherwise) is a direct result of two things:
1) you people exporting cricket to your various colonies (proven by the fact that the most militant groups seemed to originate in former British Empire colonies.)
2) and that Bean guy you made into a celebrity.
Of course the Canadians didnt help matters by thrusting that Bieber character onto the world entertainment market.
The sport of cricket was generally adopted by Australia and India - neither of which I'm aware are home to terrorist organisations.
We can't help it if stoopid terrorist in Pakistan and other middle east countries also wanted to play that crazy game.
And a lot of the middle east hasn't been a British colony either.
So I'd question your 'good authority' source.
Can't blame us for football.
That was invented by a Scottish person and was initially exported and grew in Brazil.
As for the others you mentioned??
Meh! I couldn't give a flying fuck about.
