Political correctness gone too far

"A re-enactment of the Battle of Trafalgar will not be a "French-bashing" opportunity, the Royal Navy has said.

Instead of the British taking on a French/Spanish fleet at next month's event to mark the battle's bicentenary a "red" force will take on a "blue".

Navy organisers fear visiting officials may be embarrassed at seeing their side beaten, The Sunday Times reported."

I bet if THEY had won it would be a different story!!!

I think that is the MAIN thing wrong with this country - patriotism is seen as a dirty word - in the USA everyone is proud to fly their flag and they sing their National Anthem at the first opportunity.

I like this quote from the article:

One event sponsor said: "Surely 200 years on we can afford to gloat a bit."

Are you travelling down for the Trafalgar 200 events?
