Are you cleverer than a sports minister?

[vetran]

Who won the women's title at Wimbledon?
Which team currently holds the FA Cup?
Who is the captain of the England Rugby Union team?
When did Maidstone United [her constituency] leave the football league?
Which Paralympian won the most gold medals at London 2012?

disclosure - I knew none of them can't stand watching sport, but I know some of you guys enjoy it.

Answers at the end of the day, no Googling!

There are only two reasons someone's appointed as Sports Minister:

1. To get a troublemaker inside collective responsibility bounds and shut them up
2. To get a moderately useful but whiny backbencher a "Minister" title for them to feed their narcissistic cravings

This is the sports specific version of 'how much is milk/bread' question. Expecting her to be statto is a bit much given her job probably involves adminstration of budgets rather than competing in pub quizzes against other sports ministers.

Having said that, they should leave the sport to the boys and let her get on with the ironing.
