The opening ceremonies were a reminder of incompatibilities that still exist. Now we know why our George was compelled to challenge their George in 1775.

The NHS section of the opening ceremonies was clearly aimed at America. A shot over the bow, until Mary Poppins descended.

We have shared much culturally, before and since; but the NHS thing was a political taunt.

No it wasnt.

Nonody here cares about Obamacare, and most of the UK public hasnt heard of it. The reason the NHS was in the ceremony is because Danny Boyle is a socialist, and wanted to celebrate it.

How arrogant to think that a British opening ceremony for a British olympics for a world audience was aimed at America.

Get over yourself.
