From Radio presenter Gina Allan:-
To all of you who are sick and tired of this political correctness gone
mad, then do what I have done, and sign this.
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, so if you
disagree with this decision, please sign the petition on the
