Our national hero is a football player, lord have mercy!

Much like Michelle Obama, I am proud of my country for the first time (almost) in my adult life, as we enter a time of hope. No, not Gordon Brown. Not even really Boris Johnson. I’m talking about the Olympics 2012! After enduring the Beijing Olympics for the past few weeks, full of North Korean-style routines, outright lies, and press controls, the official London takeover show was an inspirational tribute to western freedoms – and the western sense of fun!

What could be better than one of Britain’s best loved rock stars, Jimmy Page, accompanying Britain’s hottest new singing star, Leona Lewis, to the classic tune Whole Lotta Love? And then David Beckham, the world’s favourite football star, kicking out a football into the crowd as a symbol of global athleticism coming to London?
