No Red Arrows at 2012 games.

THE Red Arrows have been banned from performing at the 2012 London Olympics as they are too BRITISH.

Barmy organisers claim the popular RAF display team’s military background “might offend other nations”.

The decision has left pilots, who were set to perform their best-ever display at the opening ceremony, in a state of outrage.

One said yesterday: “We have been simply blown away by this decision.

“For years we have talked about performing a display at the Olympic Games and how magnificent it would be.

“It never crossed our mind we would be banned from the event.”

The government department is running the event alongside organising committee chairman Lord Sebastian Coe. An insider also suggested the Arrows had ALREADY performed at the Olympics — by doing a fly-past when London won the initial bid.

But the pilot added: “The Red Arrows did indeed perform a fly-past. But that was 2005 and was hurriedly organised.

“We really wanted to put on a world-class display for 2012 — something incredible and never seen before. It would be a showcase of everything that is great about Britain.

“The Red Arrows are as British as the Queen and London buses.

“They’re not an expression of our military power — they’re a source of national pride. But Olympic bosses have said we might offend foreigners. It’s madness.” Yesterday the Department for Culture, Media and Sport appeared to leave room for a U-turn.

A spokesman said: “No decision has yet been made.

“We haven’t made any final arrangements for the opening ceremony yet.”source:

**Yes the 2012 games, the greatest white elephant in human history who's cost - judging by the fag packet economics these used to work out the original bid - will most likely cost 2012 billion; will not be having the Red Arrows. One has to ask quite what they think will sum up their view of New Labours "Cool Britannia"? Maybe the Abu Hamza beheading infidels display team with video set up for broadcasting on the internet, followed by a display of synchronized wife beating my mullahs from the new Londonistan Mega Mosque.

How about an organised team of Romany windscreen washers. Followed by an arfo-carribean drive by shooting team - oh hang on seems that they are already getting in quite a bit of practise ready for that one...
