I think I spoke too soon when I said 'I think most people understand the issues when we say fuck the Olympics.'
No one is complaining about 'scoring' the Olympics.
The demonstrations are about China's appalling human rights violations and in particular the recent crack down on pro-Tibet demonstrators, they have everything to do with Chinese police and military opening fire with automatic rifles into a crowd of Tibetan monks and absolutely nothing to do with London hosting the 2012 games.
Did you think It was odd watching all those Tibetan protesters demonstrating about London hosting the 2012 Olympics ? ;)
