Quotation of the Day for March 28, 2015"What did Richard III ever contribute to Britain? He reigned for two years, had his arse kicked at the battle of Bosworth Field, and spent the next 52 decades in a petulant dead sulk, lounging around doing dick all for anyone. Where was he during the great fire of London? Or the Jack the Ripper murders? Or the second world war? Or the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother race row? When his subjects were crying out for guidance, where was King Richard? Relaxing in the ground, enjoying an indulgent rot in his VIP car park." - Charlie Brooker, on the interest in the reburial of Richard III.
