Would it not be good if the idea of a truce were extended by this Government and indeed all our allies to all the major sporting gatherings-world cups, championships and so on-so that those taking part paid some attention to international activity outside? That would be a real legacy to take away and it would not be confined to an event that takes place once every four years.
