Olympic Torch Relay In Pictures

The Olympic Torch Relay is all over the news this morning for the wrong reasons as far as the organisers and host country are concerned. Was the police presence over egged or was security not tight enough? Were the pro-Tibetan demonstrators treated unfairly and corralled into tight corners when pro-Chinese people were allowed to freely line the streets and wave their flags? Can you separate Olympic values from that of its host country? Did anyone actually see the Olympic flame anyway? And did the Sugababes get all girlie and bottle it at the last minute? Read More

premiumI think it was fantastic that the police were allowed to confiscate people’s t-shirts which said “free tibet” or similar on them. Also, I don’t think the police presence was ‘over egged’ but infact ‘to a standard even the chinese government would be proud of’.
I’m certainly glad i don’t live in a country where people are allowed to protest freely against a government with a proven record of human rights abuse. I can only hope that anyone caught with an inflammatory slogan on their clothes was swiftly flown to Syria and tortured until learn how to act civilised; assuming they make it back alive.
Makes you proud to be british…
