Blue-suited Chinese thugs in downtown London.

Well, They Are Famous For Their Terrible Cuisine so it should come as no surprise that the UK is serving up a lot of Fresh Hot Crow to their oppressed citizens. The latest meal is the presence of 30 Chinese paramilitary elite thugs who made sure no one got near the Olympic torch as it was carried through London, and they did so by brutally attacking anyone who came too close.

This obscene degrading of British national sovereignty was apparently set up by Scotland Yard, with the Chinese thugs having been allowed into the UK under “tourist” visas.

Kudos to the British people though: The Daily Telegraph has learnt that organisers, including Chinese officials, discussed “pulling out” of the day-long relay after just a few hours, as police fought running battles with wave after wave of anti-China protesters.

Kevin Rudd, the Australian Prime Minister, warned Beijing yesterday that he would not allow the Chinese thugs to guard the Olympic torch when it is carried through Canberra this month. He said that their behavior would not be repeated in his capital.

“All security, repeat all security, is provided by Australians,” he told The Times during a visit to London. The Olympic torch is due to be carried through Canberra on April 24 and is likely to attract anti-Chinese demonstrations similar to those seen in London, Paris and this morning in San Francisco.

The beginning of the relay in San Francisco is hours away as I write this, and I can find no mention of the possible participation of the Chinese thugs. There will be a two-and-a-half-hour relay along this city’s waterfront, involving six miles of pavement, 79 runners and untold scores of law enforcement officials.

Major protests by those upset with China’s human rights record and recent crackdown in Tibet are expected and even supported by the city’s Board of Supervisors, which voted on April 1 to condemn China’s human rights record. Chris Daly, the supervisor who wrote the resolution, went further on Monday, posting a blog entry calling on followers to “build on the message that’s been delivered” in Paris and London. That’s pretty straightforward and has upset the Chinese no end.

The San Francisco Police Department canceled days off for patrol officers and called in state and federal agencies and officers from nearby cities to help patrol the relay route. A no-fly zone was established overhead, the Coast Guard beefed up its fleet and Bay Area police planned on a pair of motorized water scooters patrolling the waterways. It’s going to look like a war zone instead of the celebration it’s always been before.

“I can only confirm that the route is dynamic,” said Nathan Ballard, a city spokesman. “We got monks tomorrow, Desmond Tutu and Richard Gere here today, and a nude torch relay in the works,” he said, “And I have no hope of leaving here without tripping over hundreds of members of the foreign media. I’ll tell you one thing: it won’t be boring.”

Yep. A nude torch relay. Only in San Francisco would you expect to see some of the torch bearers running NAKED! Wah hah hah, I wonder how China will like that?

Well, unlike England, San Francisco is famous for its fine cuisine. It’s going to be fascinating as all Hell to watch what they dish up today.
