UK and Canada have stated that none of their Diplomats or Officials will attend the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, they have followed the lead of the USA, due to China's appalling breaches of Human Rights,


IMO quite right , I hope Australia and other nations do the same, I am also very wary of Chinas Military intentions

Token gestures, I think they could’ve gone a lot further & be justified in doing so.

I boycott the Olympics every time they're on the box. Along with the rest of the sport.  ;)

Silly fuss. Diplomats aren't athletes so why would they be there in the first place? Freeloading on the gravy train for the most part I imagine. As long as those athletes who've been training most of their lives for this get their opportunity to shine. Win or lose. Keep politics OUT of sport.
