rossyrooney Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I would like to think it was a slap in the face to Cameron, Blair and the Thatcher witch......all of these have damaged Britain, Thatcher by wilfull damage, Blair by incompetance and Cameron by deliberate profiteering. He certainly looked awkward at times.....he got the message regarding the NHS allright, his face said it all. Eloquently put,nothing you say is arguable.

melthebell Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 It was a triumph of diversity of all kinds, totally inclusive (the Windrush) and even featured that infamous lesbian kiss. I loved it, a refreshing change from the pomp and ceremony of our usual spectacles, featuring real everyday people who are incredibly hard working and good at what they do. A celebration of our complex and not easily defined cultural and national identity. Seeing Doreen Lawrence made me cry. I also loved how the construction workers lined the tunnel as Sir Steve carried the torch through into the stadium. Of course the Suffragettes (especially the shoulder to shoulder touch) and Bowie were highlights for me. It's a shame that Macca was wheeled out yet again, that wasn't in keeping with the theme of passing on the legacy to the new up and coming stars of the day. Aside from him it was a veritable visual and aural spectacle, brilliantly conceived and executed. It far exceeded my expectations. The cauldron was beautiful and original too. The whole event was incredibly moving. plus it was good to see a couple of muslim countries fielding women in their squad for the first time, thats a positive step. cant remember which now, quata? saudi?

Chris_Sleeps Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Anyone who didnt know better would think its 70% non white. Thats totally wrong! What difference will that make to anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 plus it was good to see a couple of muslim countries fielding women in their squad for the first time, thats a positive step. cant remember which now, quata? saudi? Totally, and that was acknowledged too. The whole ethos of last night has restored my faith a bit, as I was really cynical about it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 What difference will that make to anyone? It beggars belief that people are carping on about this. They also obviously haven't visited East London recently either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 There are only white people in the sailing team. Let's throw one out and get in a blacky. Balance up the racial mix to reflect our country. I'll put my opinion forward - Andy Peters. He'd jump at the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 but wont all the blackness come off with the water? errrrrrrrrrrrm Good point. Some of the white sailors may pick up a tan aswell. Oh dear. This can't carry on like this. A Latvian housewife might misunderstand our social make-up. It'll ruin everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
