Red Arrows petition
Apparrently there are those in our government who don't want the Red Arrows to fly displays at the 2012 Olympics as they are 'too
millitaristic' and 'might offend other attending nations'. If, like me, you think this is utter cobblers and would like to help
reverse this bo**ocks decision, please sign this petition.

I've heard about it from a mate so not from a 'Primary Source' as such!

FFS!! Why doesnt it surprise me though??? Plenty of time yet for the Political Correctness Brigade to try and ban the competitive nature of the
Olympics yet mind - could be construed as discriminatory to fat people you know!!! The British team might end up made up of a "broad cross
section of the community to reflect the ethnic and social diversity of Great Britain" so as to ensure that the minority groups feel that the
Olympics belong to them too!!! Never mind all these sports academies - get the PC brigade to pick the team. Then again we'd still win just as
many medals!!!
I am amazed actually that they are still called the Red Arrows - just in case they somehow manage to offend the Indians..... sorry..... Native
American People...what with having the word "Red" and "Arrows" in their name.

Keep in mind they exist only as a promotional/recruiting tool. If the government doesn't think it's going to attract smart young men and
women to the forces by having them fly by at the Olympics, then they find a reason not to. It costs a fortune, and they want to blow big bucks lining
some developer's pocket instead. Same thing's happening in Vancouver, site of the 2010 Winters.
