Britain Mess Up? Wrong!

Well, time for an apology of sorts. The lack of belief that Britain could lay on a spectacular Olympics, let alone achieve in them was clearly wrong. The only embarrassments were the unfilled seats, due of course to corporate greed and politicians love of it, but was resolved to a reasonable degree. And the loss of Wembley's keys by the police and the arrest of a man for not smiling. I think their profiling might need some attention, plus methods.

But other than that, mere bobbies seemed to prove that they can still act like humans (and work as if they were citizens in uniform, as opposed to state enforcers), despite the best efforts I'm sure of the trembling senior officers, waiting for the 'inevitable' terrorist incident.

What we got was world class facilities, brilliant stadia and proof positive that the British are a nation of sports who love sports. The athletes must have been surprised by just how interested the British are in all the events and how we applaud endeavour, not just our own athletes.

So I was wrong to figure that we would cock something up big style and why was that? Because I confused Left influences for genuine Britishness. The British are very good at getting things right, it is just the Left has so infected so much of our society that it is difficult to remember what British people, cleansed of the malign influence of the Left can achieve; they just get on with it.

Our athletes did well despite the incessant and shrill injunctions of the Left that 'all must have prizes'. The nobility of those defeated is indeed humbling and the British public applauded the plucky loser all the more loudly. Little by little, whether it is the corruption of politics, the police, striking Unions, the destruction of education or the justice system, the British people are coming to realise that it is the Left who are responsible for destroying our country.

Perhaps they don't realise just yet that it is quite deliberate, but as with the EU, the penny will drop. There is inequality in the world, but it is juvenile not to accept it. There will never be a society when everyone loves everybody else and no one has more than another. Trying to impose such a society is like telling everyone they must be the same height. The thing to remember about the Left's chant of 'wealth redistribution' is that for them the important part in it is, that they do the redistribution, they tell you what to do.

So yes, the United Kingdom did well in these games and in future we should remind the IOC that the badges should be 'UK', not the inaccurate GBR.
