Please forward this to as many people as possible!!! (British Citizens)
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.
What the heck is this country coming to

Shall I quote the news source that this petition is based upon.

It's 'The Sun'. Me thinks there is more to this than the trip published in that comic.

signed dude! even if its a load of poop, its pathetic how we would allow this kind of nonsence because most of the time people just cant be arsed to speak out. I personally dont think that the polish should be allow a polish only bar, but its happened becuase of people that dont speak there mind becuase there scared of being accused of being racist, or just simple lazy-ness!

Are you a fucking idiot? That petition was started because of a bullshit report made up by The Sun. The London 2012 committee shortly snubbed it as bullshit, and this all happened last year.
