A Petition Worth Signing ?
Permalink  


Did you know that :-
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, and their flypast at the Games was to have been truly spectacular.

It is to be hoped that common sense prevails

If you disagree with this decision, sign the petition on the link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/RedArrows2012/?ref=redArrows2012

 
We must not stand idly by and let these idiots get away with it.

This sort of thing makes me sick.Its about time the people who make these decissions woke up and realised that if it wasn't for the bravery of military and ordinary people in two world wars and current ongoing wars they wouldn't have a say at all.To many ****ing do gooders who would **** them selves and run a mile at the first hint of trouble.This country is going to the dogs and it's about time the people stood together and say enough is enough.There thats my rant over you either agree or disagree but thats my opinion living in a supposedly free world with free speechfuriousfuriousfurious
