SupraStar 3000 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 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.

marbleapple Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 If you read the governments response: "It is not true to suggest that the Government has banned the Red Arrows from celebrations to mark the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The organising committee of London 2012 will decide what to include in the celebrations - but with five years to go, decisions are yet to be made on what the celebrations will look like, although you can be assured that they will be a spectacular showcase of Britain's best.

May be in reading the governments response wrong but isn't it saying the whole thing is garbage? i.e. the whole thing about the red arrows is fake?

Jake Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Who are these wankers that make-up this utter garbage. Would that be you? Nobody has been "banned" from anything as far as I can see. Feel free to point me in the right direction though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show us a creditable source that says the Red Arrows have been banned from something, as your first post claims. ps, Who cares anyway? I couldn't give a toss whether those waste-of-money fly-boys get to show off at some future event I won't be at anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
