Either he was being deeply ironic or got his political correctness the wrong way round.

Back in Wales yesterday there were big celebrations for some Olympic athletes in the Welsh capital Cardiff. Only one Union Jack could be seen in a sea of Welsh flags. A TV channel showed an old clip of a similar event thirty years ago in Cardiff and not one Welsh flag was visible (all Union Jacks). How things have changed.

I can't wait to see the next Olympics when the new "Republic" flags that use to be part of the Georgian Republic file into the stadium.
