Grand Prix: Ecclestone’s not bothered
A few nervous folks have cancelled their Grand Prix plans but Bernie Ecclestone says a few demonstrations won’t stop his race from running.

If brutal repression of demonstrations is Bahrain didn’t affect the elite high octane merrymaking, whats a few students walking around banking pots?

Ecclestone is a brute who understands only money. The Bahrain race went on because cops cracked down twice as hard. Which means in the ever-developing tactics of dissent, we have to try three times as hard to make sure the eurotrash and jetset one-percenters feel oh-so-welcome in the midst of our little uprising. (did i just break loi78? Or is the law blind to wink-wink subtlety)

I’m not coming to Montreal this year. I’m afraid the government stupidity will make life hard for me and my family during a visit. Get someone sane in office, I’ll revisit this decision.

I’m sure we’ll manage without you, Mr. Rice.
Hamza, I’m seeing tweets about possible streaking at tourism events. I’m game if you are!

The testosterone class at the GP doesn’t understand civil liberties anyhow.

Ouf I totally would , except I read somebody’s comment recently about there being some parts that you wouldn’t want to expose to pepper spray.
