Hi Guys   

   

I think I may have got this wrong when I tried to send it a few mins. Ago, so here goes a second time. If, like me you feel this is one step too far . (I can hear Bob Harrison  applauding from here). Then you may wish to sign up. It’s a really quick and simple process.  

What do you think?  I’m sure our US friends must be laughing there heads off at this one!  

Kind Regards  

   

Alan

It takes 2-seconds to submit your signature to the petition; it is a reputable, fully registered, petition site  

   

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.

Gents,



I'd be laughing if it weren't so sad.  Just another example of political correctness gone mad.  Send your guys over here to perform.  Our PC crowd hasn't quite crammed this pseudo-niceness that far down our throats so we can enjoy the beauty and splendor of any and all aerial performers, military or otherwise.  I bet they'd be a real hit at Oshkosh in 2012 and every year between now and 2012.



May we colonials over here on the west side of the big pond sign your petition?



Check six,

Bob Borger

Those Red Arrow boys really can fly

 - I saw their fabulous flying couple of year  ago

 and I have RA -poster here in my work shop.

  

 It is art and makes people happy.

  

 (I do have to add here: in fact my test pilot  

 Lt. Col. Jyrki Laukkanen has  teached them)

  

 I sign at once.

It's a bloody disgrace!!   The government is so busy giving our  Country away and of course our rights at the same time that it will soon be  illegal to celebrate Christmas or Easter in case we offend our "multicultural"  Society.

No doubt the Horse Guards will be sent on leave so  that they dont offend the foreign tourists. 

  

 If the implications werent so bloody serious it  would be funny - it isnt. Now we have to be  ashamed of who we are. 

  

 The only people who should be ashamed are the  government and beaurocratic apologists who condone this kind  of political correctness. We should lock em all up in the Tower of London.  Not so long ago it would be regarded as treason - penalty death!

This same political correctness is sweeping the USA  as well. Very similar events in fact. Since when should something as proud and  noble as the US and British militaries be something to be hidden from the rest  of the world in shame. The shame lies with the PC crowd and their lack of  cahones. Then I guess that we can't lay off all the blame when we quietly stand  by and let the PC's get away with their stupidity. What's the answer  mates?

Hi! Bob B/Raimo /All



Regretfully I don't think you can assist (other than writing to "our

esteemed" Prime Minister!) The petition application page requires your

address and there is a box to use if you are an "Ex.Pat" So I guess

they'd have a blocking mechanism and bar your participation.

Yes, it is all so very very frustrating when generations past made the

ultimate sacrifice for us to now finish up as a damn backwater to a

Federal Europe.

My great fear is that our gullible indigenous population will let it all

happen without so much as a whimper. Only then will they realise the

futility of belated resistance.

Regards

Bob h G-PTAG

Bob,



I noticed. I decided to be as an "Ex.pat",

but was blocked. How did the system

know I am not?

Hi! Raimo

Probably the address you used wasn't authentic ? Also I'm guessing your

name may have placed a warning up or even the origin of your message.

Hi! Kingsley 

You walked into that one good and proper !

Regards

To all

Bob,



I did it succesfully via hotmail

and gave your address. Now they

all know we live together. Is it OK

for you, my dear Bob?



Let us ALL know your exact address

so soon you will notice you live

with 1000 Europa lovers. And 

"they" will know it too. Should

you ask your wife first?
