Well, Rupert, at least you got one thing right.

Sky Sports News has been presenting tip-top coverage of all global sports, from futbol to tennis to racing, plus F1 and motocross.

They give proper respect to Thoroughbred racing over there, with the presenter-blokes in their top hats and morning coats. Moreover, the ladies on the set (not on the live remotes) are not afraid to display themselves as women.

No Linda Cohns or Chris McKendrys or Doris Burkes (what exactly are those glasses?) here. Rather, we get the likes of Kirsty Gallacher and Rachel Wyse. Lovely…

Thank you. Best wishes. Goodbye. So long.
