Love it or loath it take a look at this
=======================
Hello Everybody.
This petition has just come to my notice, and I pass it on to you to - hopefully - sign it.
You do not need to have an interest in aircraft to do so, but Political Correctness has gone mad once again it seems, so please spend the time completing the form by clicking on the link below.
Please read carefully and if you agree sign the petition and forward on this e-mail
The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed "too British".
Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be "offensive" to other countries taking part in the Games. The display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team "too militaristically British". Red Arrows pilots were said to be "outraged", as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a British-based event for being "too British" is an insult - the Arrows are a symbol of Britain.
The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the world.
The Arrows performed a short flypast in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their flypast at the Games was to have been truly spectacular.
It is to be hoped that common sense prevails
If you disagree with this decision to not use them, sign the petition on the link below

Pass it on to as many people in your address book as you can too (even those who are not interested in aircraft), in the hope that they will support the motion!
Surely everyone loves the Red Arrows enough to care, don't they?
They are better ambassadors than our government most of the time!
