UN - Fookin Believable!!! :rant:

 

 

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

total agree that they should not be allowed to take part

Also think that

1/ each nations flags should not be allowed in the parade

2/all women should have thier legs covered in events

3/ no white or coloured people should be allowed to take part

4/ all women should have thier faces covered in events

5/there should be no white lines on any of the tracks

as all of these may upset some minorities

oh forgot no starting pistols and no male or female only events

no winners, everyone has 1 mninute to do as many as they can then move to the next station. (any teachers in here? you need a slap for allowing this)

 

The term looser to be struck from the english dictionary

If we win the country is to apologise profusly for such an unsporting attitude to guests.
