Oh, it's a disgrace, but politicians, British or otherwise, are oddly shameless. Then again, this just make the Olympics a little more interesting. I look forward to some bloody clashes with the police.
Why haven't y'all invaded China, by the way? The population would welcome your troops with flowers.

This will probably have a higher rate of success than direct critique.

Holy crap! A British cave to China! This is great! Think of the time and money that it will save. Shipping goods back and fort via this underground trade root...
Just think, when I was a kid my parents told me it was unrealistic to try and dig a hole to China. Ha! Shows what they know! 😲
