Olympic Conclusions

[Rusty]

There was also a female hockey player had her jaw broken with a full on whack with a hockey stick. They patcher her up and she played the rest of the tournament with a fractured jaw - absolute hero. 

  So lets remember the athletes instead hey?

Exactly. Not Boris Johnson or Cameron.


As for diversity I think it is wrong to 'celebrate' it. Now before anyone jumps down my throat please bear with me. Those individual athlete's (of all ethnic backgrounds) did something very special, they plotted themselves a course, trained hard, and dug deep within their mental and physical reserves to win through, and That is what needs celebrating.


These were people from all backgrounds, social strata and ethnicity, but what they had in common was the will to overcome the odds and to succeed.  When put together those diverse individuals formed 'Team GB' and went on to make us proud. The message that we should take from this is that commonality of purpose is what makes us work well together, and achieving shared goals are what brings out the team spirit and self respect as a nation.  To point out our differences as this current obsession with celebrating diversity does, is to divide into segments rather than unite as a whole.


We've seen what can be achieved if we all work together for a common goal, so why make a feature of distinctions and divisions rather than unite under one banner?
