Gutless British Ministers boycotting EURO 2012...to a point

[barney15c]

Only British Ministers could come up with such a lilly livered and futile gesture. They have stated they will not attend any of the England matches for the qualifying round of Euro 2012 in protest of the former prime minister yulia timeshenko being falsley imprisoned. - the term being used is Ukraine applying selective justice. Fair enough, no great loss . However all bets are off if England progress to the Quarter finals and beyond (their actually wording is they will be reviewing the situaton ,er yeah!!), no doubt a substanscial junket is too good to pass up to let your morals get in the way. What hypocrytes, its either all or nothing, if you believe so passionately about how badly a countries political process is back up the courage of your convictions don't go full stop , dont go picking and choosing your position. What a morally bankrupt bunch of idiots this shower are. What do you think?

Have to agree with you Barney. Whatever happened to the politicians of yesteryear. Okay, some of them lost their positions in government because they stood up for their principles but at least they showed backbone.
I think they were a rare breed.

I wonder if any other country is so morally outraged enough to boycott the games. I don't this this bunch is any more hypocritical than the last bunch Tony B liar has feathered his nest very well. Gordon Brown still isn't speaking to us for kicking him out and now we have Noddy and Bigears aka Balls and Minibrain although I haven't seen anything of the latter for a while, must be having a head transplant.

they haven't declared their approach to the finals, yet, probably hoping it is a non-issue as would any UK govenment.

You can be a right shyte stirring prat, barney, as a UK government (Con/Lib/Lab or whatever configuration in between) should respond with the appropriate political response to the repression of democracy, as amply demonstrated by the Ukrainees.

Pass me the barf bowl, I need it.
