agree with your first sentence there judorick
i'm a bit of a liberal guardian reading lefty myself, but good lord, even to me it came off that they rammed 'diversity' down your throat a bit too much the Empire Windrush making an appearance ![]() i think the powers that be are trying to tell us something |

I thought it was a good representation of Britain.
I loved it, that after all the endless talk about who should light the flame, the job was given to a group of young athletes. It was handled beautifully. How cool was Becks in the speed boat? I was very worried watching Steve Redgrave running up the steps. Goodness, what if he'd tripped? ![]() I thought, for the most part, it was excellent 9/10. (Could've done without Macca, at the end ) |

the inclusivity and diversity was heavily handled and clumsily too
even down to the white wife-black husband-mixed race child set up the producers may think that represents GB but really those kinds of families are a tiny percentage of the total I'm all for representation but this was all rammed down the throat imo |

By:
Well, yes, possibly, but I still give it 9/10

Had a large proportion of the crowd left before the end or was that an illusion created by the lighting?

Yeah, it was just an illusion created by people still standing and obscuring the 'pixcels'. The place was rammed until the end. I thought it was great. Daft, irreverant, colourful, artistic and done with a smile on it's face! The torch was a great, great idea. And to further upset all the miserable feckers out there, 27 million in the UK watched it! |
