So it went throught london yesterday, fully televised for all three hours of it. Most of it was disrupted by tibetan supportors, so the whole thing looked like a complete shambles and neither side came out looking good. Most of the TV pictures were of protestors being knocked to the ground by police or of people trying to grab the flame. You couldn't see the torch bearers or the flame at all for most of the journey including the people who were famous atheletes.
Shambles the whole thing. This week it will go to Paris. Should they just give up ? A lot of people in the UK support the Tibetan protestors.
In 2012 when it comes to London, are we going to be so supportive if random Iraqi people and their supporters try to disrupt our olympics?
