Must not criticize multiculturalism and socialism

A bit of a flap in Britain after someone DARED to criticize the Olympic Opening Ceremony

A Conservative MP...  appeared to describe the Olympic Opening Ceremony as 'leftie multi-cultural crap'.

The comments, claiming the ceremony was more left wing than that which opened the 2008 Beijing games in Communist China, appeared in a Twitter account purporting to be that of Aidan Burley, Tory MP for Cannock Chase.

The opening section showcased British history, including the creation of the NHS and the Jarrow march, a 1936 protest against unemployment in the North East.

Two tweets were posted from @AidanBurleyMP, saying: 'The most leftie opening ceremony I have ever seen - more than Beijing, the capital of a communist state! Welfare tribute next?'

A second tweet read: 'Thank God the athletes have arrived! Now we can move on from leftie multi-cultural crap. Bring back red arrows, Shakespeare and the Stones!'

Downing Street distanced itself from the comments, with a senior source saying: 'We do not agree with him.'

The tweets, widely repeated, caused an avalanche of criticism on the social networking site including from a fellow Conservative, Croydon MP Gavin Barwell.

1:26 AM How narrow-minded of you. Why don't you form your own opinions instead of relying on second- or multiple-hand ones?!

Meanwhile, I don't think the Chinese Communist concept or practise of "socialism" compares in any meaningful way with the British or European model! Even Nazism is classed as "socialism" because the word is put in the name. It's much like all those countries which put "democratic" in their names, and you know right away they're anything but democratic.

At least the British have a good sense of humor by showing elderly Queen Elizabeth appearing to arrive at the stadium by jumping from a helicopter (of course a stunt!).

"Leftie multi-cultural crap..."

And what better place for it to be exhibited than in the totally socialist Britanistan.

Are there any virgins left in NYC?, as that's where Al Qaeda has made its biggest strike in the West (whether Europe or the US)
