Oh My God - thank goodness Morris & our Folk Scene will not be involved ...

The Big Shen's latest fiasco:

Patriotic Games! Olympic salute to Hitler defeat and other historic events of past century during opening ceremony

Britain's triumph over Nazi Germany will be commemorated during a patriotic opening ceremony at the Olympics next month.

Stirring sections of the show, which will be watched by billions on television worldwide on July 27, will highlight the country's role in world events during the past 100 years, it has been reported.

[Yeah - like the illegal invasion of Iraq, etc.]

Although exact details of the show's format have not been disclosed, as well as celebrating Britain's triumph over Germany in the Second World War one report suggested that country's decisive role in the First World War will be emphasised.

The show will also include 'a celebration of the work of the NHS', and several hundred nurses have been chosen by Boyle to portray the 'Best of British'.

{Yeah - like the ones who can't be ar$ed to wash their hands, like the ones who abuse and mistreat elderly patients, like the ones who go to work in uniform picking up all sorts of bugs on their clothes, etc.]

As someone commented:

But if they are to celebrate the winning of WW1 and WW2 then you need to represent ALL the countries who contributed to this ie France, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Caribbean, Canada, India the list of ALLIES is endless it was not JUST a British win nor just British soldiers who sadly lost their lives ..... which defeats the purpose of having a British Olympic games.
