The ‘caving’ came from the IOC, it has damn all to do with us. And there has been nothing in the media about such British ‘caving’. So stop spreading your BS.
I am getting utterly and completely sick of the Anglophobia on FR, esp when people like you accuse us of antisemitism.
Jesus, I’d see less Anglophobia on an Irish pro-IRA site.
Why should young British men and women fight and die, as they have alongside Americans, in two wars in the last ten years, when Britain, America’s best ally, gets the disgusting vitriol that seems to be all over FreeRepublic?.
If you hate the UK so much, kindly take your Olympic team home. Today.
OK. Apologies extended.
OTOH, how can responsible politicians get their panties in a twist over a mild response that an American politician gave to a reporter?
Are people a little ‘jumpy’ over there? (I guess I’m guilty of the same.)
Because we lost 400K dead in two wars because of sentimental ties to our cousins an ocean away. And we'd jump in again if Britain's sovereignty were ever threatened. I find it vaguely amusing how Brits can dish it out but can't take it. What ever happened to the stiff upper lip?
C’mon man - stone up a bit. Some intemperate remarks in the British press inspired some intemperate remarks at FreeRepublic. None of this erases the kinship we hold dear. I’m proud of my Scot roots and nothing the lefty press can say will change any of that.
Someone else noted that it looked like the daily mail was playing, “Let’s you and him fight” and that’s what I’m getting from all of this.
Frankly, I rarely ever take my cues from the libs...
