But no swine. I wonder why? Would some people be offended by a pair of pigs? If so, who are they?

Re: Olympics
If you are thinking 'muslims', think again - jews
They will use the anthem 'Jerusalem'
The zion olympics

Well the BBC's video of the set model shows a couple of pigs...
BBC News - A look at the Olympics 'countryside' opening ceremony
What offends me is - no Morris dancers? They've got a cricket match and maypoles so why not include these quintessentially English characters?
Seriously, if people want to see the countryside why can't they just go out and look at it? We could have something far more imaginative on opening night. All these animals will be wanting to go to sleep by 9pm!

The BBC are wrong, as usual. However, the latest rumour here in London is that the pigs may be back in providing the sheep can be ritually slaughtered at the end of the show.

Re: Olympics
How incredibly embarrassing
Olympics opening ceremony suit "like something out of an Elvis tribute band" - Olympics - Sport - The Independent
"Their opening ceremony parade suits, which will not be revealed until the day itself, according to one team member who has been kitted out this week at the TeamGB preparation camp at Loughborough, "look like something out of an Elvis tribute band."
White, with a lot of gold, is apparently the motif of the Next-designed suits"

Re: Olympics
It get more like the Royal Its a Knockout every time a bit of info is leaked.
It promotes the concept of multinationalist world government when they seem intent on making us be ashamed to be british.

Re: Olympics
I think you need to explore the difference between Judaism- a religion,
.....and Zionism - political ideology.
Zionism shelters from criticism by invoking allegations of antisemitism.
Many jews are aware that their religion is being misused.

Re: Olympics
Margaret, you wrote Jews in bold. Now you change tatics.....
I stand by what i said.
So Zionism is no different that other fundelmentalists of this world, whether they are Muslim, Christan, Jewish or any other faith. So why oh why did you write Jews instead of fundelmentalist Zionism?
I have no issue with you or what you choose to believe, the power of the internet can change peoples views, not always for the better, however if i had radical views I would choose not to air them in public..
You have made a rather bad show posting that on here, then trying to cover it up. I am disapointed with you in this, we both have differing views regarding lots of subjects, but i have enjoyed debating them with you, however this is different. I will post no more on this, as is will lead nowhere.

No such thing as a Zionist idealogy, it's more a conglomerate of ideas from various factions. ( Something like the current coalition government, where nobody agrees on anything )

Changing the goalposts? Are we talking about idealogies or religions?
I would argue that 'many' C of E or Catholics are aware that their religion is being misused, and that 'many' tories, liberals and labourites are aware that their idealogies are being misused.
