I've had a brilliant idea for a new Olympic sport. Like most Olympic events, it's an elite activity, open only to a select group of contestants who have trained hard for years. Each of them – I'm thinking Tony Blair, Tessa Jowell, Lord Coe, Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson for starters – has to stand on the edge of a pit and see how much public money they can throw into it. The gold medal will go...

Lord Sebastian Coe still refuses both to deny claims by reporters that he told the Welsh and Scots to fuck off, and to apologise for having done so. Adam Price told the Western Mail last week: “I shall be writing to Lord Coe asking him categorically to deny making the remark. If he had made the remark – and it wouldn’t matter whether it was on or off the record – it would be a resigning matter

Still no explanation or apology from Lord Coe. And it seems the mainstream British media thinks it's perfectly acceptable for the 'Olympic Ambassador' to insult Wales and Scotland. Luckily we have this internetty thing going on really. Here's what you'll find on Wikipedia: n September 2008 Coe controversially told reporters "F**** 'Em" when asked about the opposition to the creation of a

Senedd Whip seems to believe we all got a bit hot under the collar with Lord Coe's "Fuck 'Em" moment (or "alleged" moment!) because that he's a Tory. Sorry Mr Whippy, it has a bit more to do with the fact that we're told he told us to Fuck off! As I said on the previous post, the story disappeared quite quickly. Here's a copy of the printed version (courtesy of Dougthedug ) Coe hasn't commented on...

There's been an uproar in the Welsh blogosphere about Lord Coe's approach to a UK Olympic football team. Up until now, the constituent parts of the United Kingdom take part in international footballing events individually, namely Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Seb Coe wants to threaten and overturn the historic agreements with FIFA, and potentially destroy any future chance of there...

One would have thought that telling both Wales ans Scotland to fuck off would result in Lord Coe offering an apology and his resignation. He's quite clearly not up to standard. The equally moronic BOA, which doesn't know that No means No, has decided to press ahead with a GB football squad despite opposition from Wales and Scotland.
