So the Chinese Ambassador, Madam Fu Ying, to Britain will not be involved in carrying the flame through London. Maybe ashamed?
Highly unlikely!
It is a shame, though, that important U.K. athletes will be involved – a personal decision, I know; maybe I have failed to see the importance of this event.
Right now, though, Hu Jia, the 34-year old Chinese rights campaigner, has been sentenced to three and a half years for, “inciting subversion of state power and the socialist system”.
Socialist system? China is a brutal, dictatorial regime, and bares little resemblance to any socialist system as I understand the phrase.
UK address – send an e-mail to:-

subject attention either of these names Madam Fu Ying, Ambassador OR Mr. Zhang Lirong, Minister Counsellor.

The U.S. and the EU have made official complaints to China.
Hu Jia follows Yang Chulin to jail – Yang was sentenced for the same crime of demanding human rights.

YANG CHULIN WITH SON
I am sure Bush, Brown, (and all those like them, including athletes competing in the games), sleep well at night. They speak fine words about the Olympics and ideals – what price do you pay for selling your soul to the devil in the name of political and commercial expedience?
