Wonderful. Just superb. I sit here as your humble servant and reporter for those who were not present to see it to tell you that THIS was a great show. Yes it was very British, yes it was odd and Archery/Coronation Streety in the middle, but Roddy Doyle/Frankie Boyle/Danny Boyle, as he was variously called in my house this evening, did a fantastic job. Just brilliant.
I opened the windows during the celebration of the Jarrow marchers and the NHS to listen to the monocles popping out all over north Kent. Ha !! Just brilliant. I hope Andrew Lansley recorded it. Only a buffoon ( there’s a box you can sign at the end of this piece) will have missed the director’s direct stab at the hand that feeds h1m – this administration’s final act of slaughter and murder of the NHS, the one the one thing which this country can boast about since the end of the seond world war. Sadly for the ruling classes, they employed a working class boy to tell Britain’s history. If you listen carefully between the drummers, you could hear the squeaking of chief assassin David Cameron’s chair as he shifted his buttocks from side to side while he witnessed the nurses and dancers celebrate our once proud gift to the world (some of us are still using it).
Anyway, apart from that I can sit here without any fear of contradiction or criticism and say this was the best opening ceremony I have ever EVER seen (and I’ve sat through a couple.). Whatever I may have said about the games, Mr Boyle is exempt from criticism. My GOD , that CAULDRON, and the FIREWORKS at the end. SENSATIONAL !!!!!!!!! BEST EVER
And then McCartney came on.
Fuck me.
Terrible.
Again.
Jesus.
Flat and shite. Flat at Jubilee. Worse tonight.
Just Awful.
Embarrassing.
Pity.
The Sharp Single 
Recycling should be a +ve activity. Macca has taken it to an unacceptable extreme.
Ah and right on cue: here’s the buffoon. Aren’t Tory MPs great: they do exactly what they say on the tin: SKY NEWS: After the opening section, which showcased British history, including the creation of the NHS and the Jarrow march, a 1936 protest against unemployment in the North East, two tweets were posted from @AidanBurleyMP, saying: “The most leftie opening ceremony I have ever seen – more than Beijing, the capital of a communist state! Welfare tribute next?”
A second tweet read: “Thank God the athletes have arrived! Now we can move on from leftie multi-cultural crap. Bring back red arrows (sic), Shakespeare and the Stones!”
What a wanker
I’m not even sure that I’d even describe the Chinese as left-wing. State controlled, sure, but they’re hardly for ‘the people’ other than in rhetoric. God I hate Tories.
The dickhead that said it was they same bloke that embarrassed Cameron last year by throwing a Nazi Theme Party. Funny that, no matter how much they try to disguise themselves as human beings, the Tories inbred instincts of racism, elitism and bigotry always comes to the fore
Oh yeah, the show was great too. I liked the NHS tribute, especially when it cut to Cameron’s stupid inane face after.
Next time et’s have a Song from Ali while Mr Spiggot holds McCartney up.
Thank God that finished how it did. I was somewhat concerned that you’d had another turn.
