This isn't something which I find myself getting exercised about. I appreciate the point being made but it also strikes me that much of the attraction of dancing traditional dance in the UK is an outsider, non-comformist attitude. Morris, like Rapper, Longsword, Molly, Clogging and all the rest exists on their own terms.

Not getting appropriated, packaged and spat out by the Olympics machine strikes me as being a very good thing and a blessing in disguise.

The appropriate response would be for the massed ranks of the traditional dancers in these Islands to float down the Thames on narrowboats during the opening ceremonies, mooning Lord Coe and his merry band, before going to the pub for a pint and a dance.
