Title: Olympics opening ceremony was 'multicultural crap', Tory MP tweets
Post by: Pete on July 28, 2012, 08:18:45 PM: Conservative MP Aidan Burley, who was sacked as a ministerial aide for attending Nazi-themed stag party, rails against Danny Boyle's work on Twitter.

The only person I have heard criticise it.

Hear, hear! And in my opinion Danny Boyle did an excellent job. O0

I did read a bit of criticism in one of the papers today, but it was more along the lines of "Why didn't he include any Shakespeare?" I expect, given the timescale there were some difficult choices about what to include.

Who amongst any of us could have staged something like that?

Post by: Pete on July 29, 2012, 08:45:18 PM: I'm sure there was a bit of Shakespeare in the opening ceremony, but cant remember what it was.

Totally right about Danny Boyle - a masterpiece!
