VIVE LES REVENDICATEURS FRANCAIS


There are reports of the events in London yesterday!
The UK’s top badminton player also pulled out of the torch ceremony in London – Richard Vaughan.
GOOD ON YOU TOO RICHARD!!!


Beijing news reported Cathy Sing, a London resident, and apparently Chinese, she was puzzled by the protesters who said they were supporting the "independence of Tibet."
"Tibet has been part of China for several hundred years," she said, adding that the disruption had been well-planned to tarnish China's image.
China Daily said nothing, although a top article of note said China's top legislator Wu Bangguo, Premier Wen Jiabao, top political advisor Jia Qinglin, as well as Li Changchun, Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, He Guoqiang, and Zhou Yongkang planted trees at the park next to the national stadium, the main venue of the Beijing Olympic Games.
China News in English was actually in Chinese – so have no idea what they said, if anything, although I did click on the headline – trouble is, there were no pictures only Chinese characters.
ChinaonTV headlines include he significance of tomb cleaning.
The People’s Daily Online said a a few "pro-Tibet independence" activists attempted to sabotage the torch relay in London today, which is a serious violation of the Olympic spirit, as the Olympic flame belongs to the world, the spokesman said. The act will surely arouse the resentment of the peace-loving people, and is bound to fail, he added.
The South China Morning Post also reported on the protests.
The IOC Chairman, (who has obviously had his head stuck up his arse for some time), Jacques Rogge this morning called for "unity" and a rapid resolution to the political unrest that threatens to engulf the global torch relay and overshadow this year’s Beijing Games. I think it’s called trying to close the stable door AFTER the horse has bolted.
The French ceremony has already attracted protesters – the same thing is going to happen in every country – with the exception of China of course.
The Chinese authorities are “scandalised” and spout empty rhetoric about the protests destroying the Olympic ideals – load of bullshit! They’ve done more to destroy those on their own without any help from us!
