Damn! It should be. What else have I got to rage against this morning?

Bloody aircraft - took 30 minutes to get from landing at Heathrow this morning to getting into the terminal building.

That's longer than the actual flight

It's a bit too warm in my office, this morning. Will that do?

Red Arrows. Did we do this already?

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 senseand sanity prevails

Next thing we know they won’t be awarding gold, silver and bronze medals in case anyone who doesn’t win one starts to cry and throw a hissy-fit !!!!

Please sign up to the petition for the sake of sanity and common sense and pass it on to as many people as you can and urge them to do the same. The link to the Prime Minister’s Downing Street website is below. Thanks

If you disagree with this decision, sign the petition on the link http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/RedArrows...+redArrows2012
