No because giving it to them goes against the Olympic rules and Charter.



Does Politics have a place in sport?

Hmm, in the Olympic case it does because of the Olympic fundamental principles, and i guess when you have countries competiting against each other you are always going to have politics involved- same with Eurovision. Also, when issues such as foreign players in Britain and general immigration issues come into play (take the new immigration rules for example), then it is unfair to have one rule for some and another for everyone else. The thing is, politics basically governs everything- its how we live our lives. Politics will always be involved. However, it would be nice for it to be put aside sometimes and just let everyone enjoy themselves!! (just it cant be in the case of the Olympics because it is embedded within the Olympic principles!!!!!!)



Should the West support Tibetan independence?

The West should support (proper) democracy. If the majority of Tibeten people want independance, then support it, if not then support that. At the same time, we should also criticise China, and any country, that appears to be deliberatly repressing popular seperatist movements, (i am thinking in terms of Chinofication
http://www.upsu.net/blogs/mattblackall/2008/04/21/the-chinatibetolympics-issue-hasnt-disap.htm)
On this note, i therefore support the Republic of Lakotah, as long as it is supported by the majority living in this region.

it is made by Hanson, model SA8-24K-F, their top professional model.
you can see all the details at www.saxophonesdirect.com

I bought it 3 years ago in January with a 5 year transferable warrenty so still under warrenty for a good 1.5 years! It's a great saxophone but I need the money.

Great condition, just slight cosmetic wear over the years.
Pictures are available on request and it can be tried in Portsmouth upon arrangement.

2) Is immigration a strain on our public services or a benefit to our economy?

The debate will then be opened up to the floor for questions on any topic.

Come along and make some politicians squirm!
