nelson 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed "too British". Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be "offensive" to other countries taking part in the Games. The display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team "too militaristically British". Red Arrows pilots were said to be "outraged", as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a British-based event for being "too British" is an insult - the Arrows are a symbol of Britain. The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the world. The Arrows performed a short flypast in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their flypast at the Games was to have been truly spectacular. It is to be hoped that common sense prevails If you disagree with this decision, sign the petition on the link below http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/RedArrows2012/?ref=redArrows2012 Speechless, feckin speechless This b'stard government Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginga john 268 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Fecking typical the Dept of denying our culture and history,telling lies and half truths (sorry media) and sport (we'll rob every one to fund the olympic building plan) when are the people of this country going to take the bull by the horns and sort this load of leeches out? the answer i fear is never, the reason, because there are so few genuinely interested "british" people left that the powers that be have free rein to do what ever they like, even "Lord" Coe has got his nose in the trough by suppling "consultancy", via his media and entertainment company,to various companies at home and abroad who wish to cash on on the enormous waste of OUR money. makes me boil and if we had a similar attitude to the frogs then none of us would be in the sorry state that we are all in rant over, the government are C**ts, but hey - thats life.
