I was think more along the lines of the above.

[DTCwordfan]

And I was pulling your chain!

[joggerjayne]

Chain ... the Formula 1 theme music.

The Bahraini authorities wouldn't give a tozz if one of the cars mowed down a protestor.

The GP should go ahead (i) there is probably a contract involved (ii) more importantly, if it gives the opposition a better platform to protest, idiots on the track withstanding orfirebombs raining down, then it has done its purpose.

Having said that who will remember?

Remove the venue from the race calender for good. One of the most boring tracks. With any luck a huge dust storm will come in and blow the hole place off the map.

[flipnflap]

some nutter already has done something stupid - he agreed to hold the race in Bahrain

"One of the most boring tracks."

There are interesting tracks? Apart from Monaco

[snags]

Monaco interesting? pftt... overrated imo. Stick a barrel roll after Eu Rouge at Spa and you're talking interesting....

Did you see Bernie Ecclestone comparing the Bahrain protests with Labour and Conservatives having a political argument.

[Steve.5]

ah yes remember Emily Davidson ;

[craft1948]

I'm hoping the guy from the boat race tries protesting there.............

[ELVIS68]

That looney in the clip above Also took out a marathon runner in the Greece olympics, he also appeared on Britains Got Talent a few years ago, Michael Dorans is his name If I remember correctly

[douglas9401]

China is not noted as a bastion of human rights and toleration of mass protest but then Bahrain doesn't manufacture everything our hearts desire I suppose.
Some might say opportunistic politicking.

[berniecuddles]

Lewis Hamilton winning..........stupid?

What price some nutter does something stupid?

What like demonstrating for Freedom ? Bloody nutters !

[TheNovice]

doubt if the protesters will be allowed anywhere near. Just feel it will be a 'staged' event for the rich and powerful.

Ecclestone....'the protests are nothing to do with formula 1'....probably would have taken a race to South Africa during the apartheid era.......without Lewis Hamilton of course. What a nauseous human being that man is.

As for giving them a voice, I don't think anyone will be officially allowed to interview the protesters, only people who sympathise with the powers that be's stance.

[snags]

''What a nauseous human being that man is''

Agree. He won't even be at the race on Sunday... he'll be 'safe' watching his wife running the London Marathon instead.

I wonder what first attracted her to the odious octogenarian billionaire?

[TheNovice]

not his looks or fashion sense......now what could it be?
