INSTEAD of David Cameron playing god by pressing Fifa to allow Engliand’s footballers to wear a poppy in a meaningless friendly he should upbraid the, for not even opening their mouths when the national anthem is played.

In my view, this is a disgrace.

It would have been far better donating all of the players’ wages to Help for Heroes because these friendlies are nothing more than a game of musical chairs with substitutions nearly every 10 minutes.

Mr Cameron is using anything possible as a smoke screen to cover for his inadequacies as a leader, but the net is closing in on him after November 30.

Boris Johnson must be quaking in his boots because his beloved Olympic games could well be a non-starter as there are a lot of angry people.
