I think not and now I find myself in the very dubious position of being aligned with David Starkey, possibly the final straw but as JRB said, it's not going to end there.<br /><br />I'm not easily disposed toward Armed Forces loyalty by default, but they are being shafted and that is also pretty disgusting.<br /><br />And over it all you have Theresa May lying through her teeth.<br /><br />What a mess, what a complete mess. I was keen for it to work as well, I have little to no time for petty ill-wishes and I still hope it does, but all this security, its just not right.<br /><br />If that is the price we have to pay for a chair at the international top table, then its definitely not worth the it. If the Westminster Government thought this year would cement the British State together and underpin pin UK sentiment in the minds of ordinary people, I think they've got it completely wrong, more wrong than I ever thought.<br /><br />The final insult to the service-people who'll be drafted in after being told to get lost?<br /><br />What a massive cock up and its not even began yet.pa_broon74https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915208411019621104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-52879903133223642122012-07-17T10:40:41.474+01:002012-07-17T10:40:41.474+01:00Very well said Subrosa.
For so very many reasons ...Very well said Subrosa.<br /><br />For so very many reasons these London Olympics of 2012 have already gained the spurious and eternal distinction of being a disappointing, disastrous, debacle. <br /><br />But, looking on the plus side - for the very first time, I actually concur with a comment from David Starkey.<br /><br />Ideally, at this time, I would be out gathering sufficient nuts and berries before heading off to hibernate in some comfortable cave till all this Olympic hype and nonsense was far behind us.<br />Sadly, the truth is otherwise, there will be no easy escape for me.<br />Every waking moment, every newspaper, every TV channel, every radio broadcast, every blog, every tweet, even every conversation in the pub will be filled with these damned Olympics.<br />I worry for my sanity.JRBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864418763227369458noreply@blogger.com
