opening ceremony was far too left wing and too multi cultural according to a Conservative MP currently getting lambasted for his comments :-) truth hurts

Yeah, that was ill-judged tweeting tbf

Conservatives disowned him immediately.

He's perfectly entitled to hold those beliefs, and he's certainly not alone in them. However, it was massively stupid to do, with his past, and in the job he's in.

It is completely against the party line, as was shown by the reaction to it by his Conservative colleagues.

If anyone was to publicly say something that embarrassed their boss massively they would expect censure of some kind.

You'd expect better judgement from an MP to be honest.

The opening ceremony was utterly brilliant, and designed to tell the world about our incredible achievements as a nation, rising from an agrarian society to the forging of the Olympic rings, and all stops in between.

The misery-loving whiners who are calling it "left wing" are a bit sad, frankly. It's our history, warts and all. Superbly designed and executed by Danny Boyle, one of our most talented film makers. He was born into a very poor working class family in Manchester and shows a lot of the class snobs contributing to this thread what can be achieved with talent and application. He should be an inspiration to you guys.

The Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, got it, as did most of the rest of the world if you read foreign newspapers. El Mundo said, after the ceremony: "Despite all their mistakes, it has become clear that without the UK our lives would not be the same".

Bingo. That was the entire purpose of it.

Arise Sir Danny!
