Olympic torch passes through London 2008 - Just

The Chinese are, in my view on a PR disaster trail, with the Olympic torch. Today will not be remembered for the torch, but for the 20 35 or so people arrested. The free Tibet campaigner and the 'China is Great' counter campaigners.

One of the main stories I heard from from the 'China is Great' lot, is this, The Tibetans have killed my brothers and family, the thing is, I heard the very same story from far to many of the Chinese contingent. So I can only guess that it's the 'story' to tell any westerner who comes to the protests. Oh and that the BBC tells lies, to that, well, I can agree to at times.

So, here's some photo's of the demo at Trafalgar Square.

Some History on the 'torch'  here. Something about a certain Carl Diem. Some link there with the past trying to tell us something. It's just a costly show with no benefit for anyone.
