No idea why some people are still insisting that D Beckham is a great role model to young people in Britain and he should therefore light the flame at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
I have nothing against the man I am sure he is nice and cares about animals and fish but he is definitely not someone I would want my 14 year old nephew to aspire to be. He does not live in the country to start with and therefore does not pay tax here. He is also a big trooper for the shallow life and the fact that he is dishing out cheap underpants in second rate shops does not make him a hero at all.
It will be infinitely better to get someone who is in touch with the real people of London and the country to do the honours but Beckham is not the right role model.
