Banned Olympic Flags

So the Olympics are starting! Despite any impression you may have gained from previous posts in this blog we sincerely wish the people of China joy and success in their staging of this World event. Any criticism has always been of the leaders of China and not of her people who, after all, have no say in who their leaders are or what they do.

Talking of the Olympics, here's a story you may have missed. The Chinese authorities have banned U.K. athletes from displaying the flags of their regions of the United Kingdom; so no crosses of St.Andrew, St.George, St.Piran, St.Patrick and definitely no dragons. Only the national flag of the whole nation i.e. the Union Flag can be shown....... now I wonder who else that's aimed at, here's a clue.............................................
