Well it happened.
The Tug of war was won by the Total Politics team, they swept aside the team from Guido Fawkes ( with a member of Labourlist).
I have tweeted banter to Shane Greer and Total Politics team, but i will be gracious in defeat and say the better team won.
However, the Guido Fawkes team raised £3,045.00 and the Total Politics team raised £1,695.00 for MacMillan Cancer Research Link here.
So well done all that donated and took part, tho i don't think we have heard the last of the bragging rights ;)
You can view a picture of the winners here
also figures of donations were correct when written :)
A quote from the Guido Fawkes team tweeted after " Oh the humiliation...", i think that says enough.
Update : Guido Fawkes has tweeted to explain his teams humilating performance
" Who knew drinking beer wasn't training for tug-of-war?"
Update : Guido Fawkes claims that Total Politics might have cheated .
Update :Shane Greer has got in touch to say that "Both teams had eight people pulling during each of the two rounds (the
number required by the rules). There was no cheating, by either side."
It seems that the winning team had 10 creatures and the losers only 9. Was this so? Life may not be fair, but sport is supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteAll in a good cause, Billy, although you've got to wonder how seriously your heroes took the whole idea if they're joking that they were just coming from the pub. Guido: "I can show up half-gone and get beat, or I can show up sober and get beat-- the charity makes the same amount either way-- I know! I'll have another!" (Harry too.) Wait till afterwards and all will have a good laugh over a pint.
