THE BRITISH PRIME Minister is under fire today – from Aston Villa fans.
David Cameron has previously declared his devotion to the Birmingham club, but today told a crowd that he’d prefer they support West Ham.
In a speech on multiculturalism in London, he told the crowd they can:
“[S]upport Manchester United, the Windies and Team GB. Though I’d prefer you supported West Ham.”
Quite why a fan of Tim Sherwood’s FA Cup finalists would urge people to support West Ham is unclear, but Cameron said it was a “brain fade”.
His footballing faux pas has been lapped up on Twitter, with some suggesting that the Prime Minister may not be a football fan at all.
Which is just ridiculous. He’s got a Villa background on his phone:
Just for future reference, Dave -
Aston Villa:
Not Aston Villa:
They may wear the same colours, but they spell and pronounce their names differently.
