If your Government had any balls they’d tell the IOC to take their stupid, politically correct road show somewhere else.
Really, I don’t think that would be a good move. It would be a disservice to both the British taxpayers and the Jewish British subjects among them, and also Israel. Who needs all the conspiracy nuts, neo-Nazis and Islamists waving around the Protocols and using this as prove of the insidious power of the Joooos!.
It’s not about us, but about international athletic competition. It was just a gesture that would have been nice if made, and it’s nice that the Italian team decided to make their own.
Let’s not lose all sense of proportions. On the other hand, the IOC showed abject cowardice, which is disappointing but hardly a surprise.
