The Guardian has an interesting article about cheerleading in the UK: here. The title is slightly misleading, the cheerleading group they focus on is not school-based, and is in fact a place where they deliberately mix up pupils from different areas to build trust and stop the violent rivalries bewteen them.

The comments are predictable:

It's not just cheerleading. the UK appears to have looked at everything bad about the US and copied it. Look at the state of us now! All we need is to adopt their gun laws and we truly would be a 51st state...and what a state. I'm glad I'm out of it!

And I'm a bit pissed off about the comment from a male cheerleader that it's "the least gay thing" he could do. Because doing gay things is terrible.
