'Curse' talks annoy Cameron

England's rugby, football and cricket teams have crashed out of World Cups in the first round in the past 16 months, but Prime Minister David Cameron denied he is the "curse" behind the failures.

"That annoys me so much. That's nonsense," Cameron replied.

"Who was Prime Minister this summer when we won the Ashes, thank you very much? I was Prime Minister when we had the best ever haul of Olympic medals. I always support England and we don't always win. Shock, horror, surprise.

“I shouldn't let these things annoy me but I was there on the great nights when Mo Farah won gold. I've witnessed some great sporting triumphs. There is no curse,” said Cameron.
