I know this isnt bike related, but this is one of the most popular sections, so i thought i'd post this up here.

sign the petition for the red arrows to fly at the Olympic games...
"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 fly past in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their fly past at the Games was to have been truly spectacular."

Signed it because that's wrong, we should have them, it's our culture. Bet all other traditions are being respected.

Not sure how true it is, But ill be glad to see the back of Britain next year when I move. The whole "too British" or "it could be racist" thing does my head in.
