Lord Polak urges UK to ‘refuse to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics’

  1. Brings up Hitler lol, his argument is useless. If you’re going to boycott something do something that matters, like stop buying stuff from there, but we cannot do that because we have and the rest of the western world have systematically fucked our own production lines in favour of using them as a manufacturing base. It would take 10-20-50 years to fix this problem.

  2. We could boycott the winter Olympics alongside African nations. We could also ban China from cricket matches whilst we are at it. The sentiment is right but the event is wrong.

  3. Of course he does, anything to paint a picture of a foreign bogeyman so the public aren’t focusing on their own governments failings.

    Tory scum.

  4. Sporting boycotts and bans helped raise international awareness of apartheid South Africa. On their own they achieve little more than that but in conjunction with trade and travel restrictions it’s a powerful tool.

    It provides very clear message from the rest of the world saying you are fucked up, your regime is fucked up and until you sort it out, you are not welcome to mix with the rest of us.

  5. Uighir this, and Uighir that.

    Whatever happened to Tibet?.

    Oh yes, China demolished their culture, kidnapped their Messiah, repressed the shit out of the population and moved a ton of Han Chinese into the region to breed out the indigenous Tibetans.

    And then they hosted a massive Summer Olympics anyway.

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. China don’t give a shit and will just keep repressing their way to the top.
