Sad Day for Britain?

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.
