Olympic team name is a telling sign of ‘GB’ political dynamics - Kevin Myers, Columnists - Independent.ie

Read More Here: "BY SKILFUL manipulation of the remote control, aided by Peking being on the far side of the world, and with most of the events occurring when I am asleep, I am largely unaware of what has been happening in the Olympic Games.

To be sure, I catch an odd glimpse, as one might when one passes a slit in the wall of the circus big-top. Over the airwaves, I hear the occasional British voice quivering with ecstasy that a plucky pair from Stenhuisebeath or Cowdenmuir have won silver in the Mixed Colonic Irrigation, or that BRITAIN HAS GOT GOLD IN THE FOUR BY FOUR CHEESEGRATING! But otherwise my submarine contemplations of this sodden summer have been untroubled by matters Pekingese."
