Red Arrows Petition
I believe this was discussed last September sometime but a colleague's husband (who is in the Air Force) has just confirmed that they aren't going to be allowed to fly at the 2012 Olympics so please sign the petition. For those of us that are still proud to be British, please check it out:
Petition to: Allow the Red Arrows to Fly at the 2012 Olympics.
I've signed up this morning and had acknowledgement from number 10
Pass it on..............

Did you even read the website?
'This allegation is not true. The Government has not banned the Red Arrows from the London 2012 Olympic Games. The organising committee of London 2012 will decide what to include in the Opening Ceremony and other celebrations - but with almost five years to go, decisions are yet to be made on what these will look like.
And of course the Red Arrows played a memorable role in the celebrations for 2012, when they flew over Trafalgar Square to mark London winning the Games.'

Is this doing the rounds yet again? It's like the BNP altered John Howard speech and the worlds largest Mosque in London.

AN APOLOGY!!
It seems the whole thing is indeed a wind-up and I was taken in by it. Turns out the colleague's husband is actually a chef, not a rilot in the RAF!!

In truth, I was taken in by it simply because it's the sort of thing I have come to expect from this government, and I know I won't be alone in this respect.I thought it was quite believable.

and to make something clear.
its nothing to do with them being 'too british' its do do with military involvment with the olympics. according to the rules, the military should not be involved, no mater what it takes place, the red arrows are a military display team therefore according to the rules they should not display

Luckily we were here to put you right this time but its not a service that can be offered 24/7, goodness knows how many things you've heard before when nobody was around to correct you.
