Subject: Red Arrows banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics
 
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, but 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
 
Forward this on to everyone you can.

The Government response is that the allegation isn't true and it is too far away for the organising committee to have decided on what is and isn't going to be included in the opening ceremony.

As much as I'd like to criticise the government this does have the ring of truth about it.

Doesn't do any harm to add your name the petition anyway though.

Surely that's just utter nonense.  Sounds like something from the daily mail...

Starting a petition to protest against something which hasn't even happened - genius.

No doubt the banning of the Red Arrows is all caused by immegrants and asilum seekers.

I considered putting quotes round it but thought, 'No, they'll get it'.

Good job we put you up against the easy Egghead.

BTW, on a similar tack, this website is brilliant.

He collates comments from the 'Have Your Say' boards on the BBC websites - they're catnip for idiots.

As the petitioners gathered force, a spokeswoman for London 2012 told Gulf News yesterday it was "nonsense" to suggest that the government has banned the Red Arrows from the Olympics opening ceremony.

Responding to reports in British papers she pointed out that the Arrows performed a short fly-past in 2005 when the winning bid was announced.

The Red Arrows quickly responded saying that the story was 'complete rubbish'. "It is far too early for either of us or the organising committee of London 2012 to discuss any participation by the Red Arrows in the celebrations," it said on its website.

 "We plan our display season one year in advance and so we are currently busy trying to organise our 2008 display season. We would like to thank everyone for their support, but hope that the truth behind the story will put everyone's concerns to rest." 


These petitions don't take long to check out, always best to do that rather than spread more 'anti-pc' guff designed to make us all resentful of immigrants.

Second Edit - not having a go at the original poster, just get pissed off with these fake stories.

Wait, so this isn't true then?  So my idea to light the olympic torch with shells fired from HMS Belfast might still be a goer then?

Top stuff.

You should have added the word "facetious" for added authenticity.

Do you think these petitions are part of a government conspiracy to get the names & addresses of all the simpletons in the country?

Surely anyone who signs that petition can have no complaints if they end up getting 'Whacked' in a mafia stylee

I mean if we wiped out the lowest 10% of the population in terms of IQ the overall intelligence of the nation would improve greatly  ;D
