What he was actually carrying was a table leg with a tin can nailed tio the top,with a bit of cotton dipped in kerosene burning away in it. The real torch bearer was some way behind him and was for quite a long time ignored. The coppers arrested him but were buggered if they could work out waht to charge him with.

Boycott this sorry excuse of a gathering of "good will". Between the joke that is the political land mine of china, and the allowance of pro athletes, there is no reason any country should go and compete.
