Paralympics Opening Ceremony

[The Octagon]

Pretty fucking pathetic protest if that's all they did.

Give them time, nobody wants to be kicked out before they've competed ffs

I doubt any of them will make any form of protest at all until after the Games

Would be excellent if they did though

It's not a day for "protests" it's a day for a celebration of sport.

It's Hawking.

Oops sorry! *hangs head in shame for not knowing his name*

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Thought that was a really good speech from Sir Philip Craven

It's not a day for "protests" it's a day for a celebration of sport.

Spasticus Autisticus was banned by the Beeb when it came out. So both opening ceremonies have featured banned songs.

Surprised Boris didn't try to nab it himself, attention seeker that he is

 

[QueenOfGoths]

That was very impressive coming in on the zip wire from Orbit

If they're doing holograms there'd better be a bastarding hologram princess Di.
