Britain Stifles Free Speech to Participate in Olympics
We’ve known for a long time that the British have become a nation of New Age weenies. Now they are bowing to the demands of communist China so their dear athletes can participate in the Olympics. From the article:
British Olympic chiefs are to force athletes to sign a contract promising not to speak out about China’s appalling human rights record – or face being banned from travelling to Beijing.
The move – which raises the spectre of the order given to the England football team to give a Nazi salute in Berlin in 1938 – immediately provoked a storm of protest.
The controversial clause has been inserted into athletes’ contracts for the first time and forbids them from making any political comment about countries staging the Olympic Games.
It is contained in a 32-page document that will be presented to all those who reach the qualifying standard and are chosen for the team.
From the moment they sign up, the competitors – likely to include the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips and world record holder Paula Radcliffe – will be effectively gagged from commenting on China’s politics, human rights abuses or illegal occupation of Tibet.
Now that you mention it, no country of the “free world” should participate in the Olympics as long as it’s hosted by such an enemy of humanity such as China.
