Boris Johnson discovers he ‘likes’ football.
The Tories have made an Election ‘pledge’ to provide funding for grassroots football to promote a bid for the UK to host the 2030 football World Cup.
The funding of course just replaces some of the money the Tories have cut from this area since 2010.
Johnson has also given media interviews underlining his love for football but as many will know, he is a politician who is incapable of telling the truth
Sonia Purnell author of the best biography of Johnson, Just Boris writes of his attendance at the South African Football World Cup (in an earlier bid to get a future World Cup for the UK):
‘no great football fan himself, he is more of a rugby man’.

The Conservatives are pledging to invest £550m in grassroots football as part of plans to back a UK and Ireland bid to host the 2030 World Cup if they form the next government.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the investment would “transform lives with a legacy to match the 2012 Olympics”.
