And....
To get back to the original subject.
We all know, that the Olympics will be based around our Military domination of various parts of the world in the "Glorious Empire" days.
You all remember, when we taught the rest of the world how to play Cricket, and drink Tea? Respected their indigenous cultures, and put them in a museum for the "English" to marvel at..(Anyone been to the Horniman museum?)
Well, thats what we are going to get in 2012.
With a passing tokenistic mention of all the other races that live on this tiny island.

I'm not dissing our armed forces. But I would happily diss the bastards in governments (Through the ages) that have waged war, and tried to subjugate other nations.

So, The Olympics of 2012, will be just as jingoistic and manipulated, as all other Olympics have been before.

And, all that we might say here, will come to naught.


As I said many posts ago...
I'm going on my holidays that week, to avoid the embarrasment that such a spectacle would be.
