They are building a new shooting place which will be torn down when they finish because of the stupid gun laws in this country,
and they are ploughing millions into this when we really need that investment elsewhere in the country

Good point! How can we hold a shooting comp when guns are band!?
9 Million for the statium, 6 of which WE are finding and I HATE the stuffing games!

Does this mean the british olympic shooting team will have to hand themselves into police at the endd of the games? as it is they have to practice abroad. It's perverse.
We can at least guarantee that we won't win any medlas in shooting, they'll go to countries where the sport has not been criminalised.

I cant wait for Chineese to block the "british olympic torch" due to our invasion of Iraq. I wonder how many of the people who agree (or even paticipated) buy Chineese manufactured goods that we insisit on importning (outsourcing our polution to China) and undermining Bristish manufacturing. The only way to vote in teh UK is with your wallet.

I have to say that I for sure would not have been taking part in the Policing of that protest. The reasons being that I haven't run for many years, and I don't intend to start now. Secondly, I would not have looked good in all that nice Lycra Police cycling gear. Yuk!
It does smack of double standards, but it is difficult now to find a way to protest against the Government of China, considering how much of a stake that they, along with our Russian 'friends', have in the industry and infrastructure of this country.
Due to lax policies over the years, we are no longer able to send a few gunboats up Yangtze river. We might be able to muster a couple of rowing boats from the local boating lake, providing they have not been pre-booked for that weekend.
A few years ago I was involved with, along with several thousand others, the policing of the Anti War Protests and the G8 summit.
Even I was concerned at how the legislation brought in to combat terrorism, was being twisted to suit the needs of the time. It raised a lot of moral questions for me.
A little quote to ponder over.
Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.

LOL @ LSP :lol: :lol:
"nice Lycra Police cycling gear" admit it, you want some, but the bosses won't let you use it for private useage [-X [-X
What we do have to remember as well though, is don't blame the police for doing what they are told to do! blame the organ grinder for getting them into this position! cos you can bet that if someone gets hurt, it won't be the organ grinder gets the blame!!
Same as our military over in Iraq etc, they are only obeying orders!! its there job!
