Can you bloody believe this? MUST READ

[Dale Hubbard]

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, so if you disagree
with this decision, please sign the petition on the link.

Of course we would consider it a preparation for a British invasion of Scandinavia. It would never be tolerated. :veryangry:

But I could make an exception if I would be allowed to fly with them... :smilewinkgrin:
I wouldn't have to fly the lead plane.. I could accept #2 too.

There is always this alternative

Unfortunately, yes I can believe it.

Hosting a major event should be a showcase for your talent and expertise. It's just a shame we're governed by a bunch of lily livered wankers.

Sometimes, it makes me ashamed to be British.

Would you believe I once saw the custom car plate "U WANKER" here in Florida?

Acro: When I lived in the USA, I had a plate on my Corvette: 'BRIT UK' - I was advised never to go downtown Seattle on St. Patrick's day

Jasdon: Yeah it's a bloody insult. I cringe at being British these days, as this freaking government has made us a laughing stock with their 'kowtowing' Ministry of Culture. Whatever happened to OUR bloody culture?

Another attempt to water down British culture by the over politically correct brigade.
