We?
Perhaps we should also have celebrated how wonderful it is to be in the EU? Or replaced the Union flags with Brussels star circles and had our MP's march along waving them as examples of personal integrity and trustworthyness? The whole thing was political propaganda, stage managed confection, total bollox intended to project an image of a Britain that doesn't actually exist.
The athletes did well, but they were and are being used as political pawns.
