Political correctness gone mad !
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
