So proud

Last night like many millions sat, then stood and shouted and cheered as "little Mo" ran to victory in the 5km to get the distant double gold.  A fantastic achievement by any standards.  

However what makes me so proud was that Mo came to this country as a refugee and last night Britain showed our true side as a multi-cultural nation. As Mo knelt and prayed after his run and 80,000 cheered the roof off what more needed to be said.   An Islamic refugee national hero.

Britain - I love you.

  3. Who The F*ck is little MO?

    Seriously, I've not really been following the Olympics, but I'm sure I didn't miss a reference to "Little Mo"

    Some sort of mole?

  4. That is a much, much greater achievement for Britain than the U.S. The U.S. started out as a polyglot society but Britain had to come around to that way of thinking -- a much more difficult transition.
