    I really don't get how this is relevant or anything to be celebrated.

    It just seems incredibly hypocritical from the UK's point of view but also that of the other competing countries.

    These are nations we invaded, murdered the inhabitants and imposed our laws ...

    ... isn't that exactly what we're condemning Russia for?

    Aye. We are constantly apologising for our ancestors past behaviour. Behaviour which had been common practice around the globe amongst powerful leaders for milleniums. I'm still waiting for Italys apology on behalf of those pesky Romans for their slavery and for blotting our landscape with their big long wobbly wall and straight roads. Still, if they put on a sports day on our behalf then I might just start being able to stomach eating pizzas again.

    Bad enough having to go to the kids sports day, never mind watching the adults one on TV.

    I can't believe I pressed play on that. I shall be bathing my eyes in acid if anyone needs me!

    Wonder how much that rubbish cost, and who foots the bill.

    Attempting to appease a section of the commonwealth, who are constantly banging the apology drum, by mimicking their colour and culture to the point of parody? Yep, that aught to do it!

    Buggered up the timing on the flypast.

    As much as I take the piss out of the Reds - I'm allowed - they'll have been bang on time.

    I hope with the money it brings to the city, they can teach people how to drive. Was down there last month, absolute f**kin nuggets. The indicator must be an optional extra on cars down there.

    Now I'll admit this post is to take the piss, but there's some lovely screechs in that garage.
