    Sigh, it's also a fact that Britain is a predominately white Christian country, 64.4% of babies born in 2005 were classed as white British, so the other 35.6% weren't. The second most popular babies name is mohammed, Britain is on it's way to becoming a muslim country, which I personally think is disgusting, If you come to live in Britain you should have to embrace the British way of life.
    And that has absolutely nothing to do with what we were discussing. Nothing, at all.

    We should have Olympic Devolution! Separate teams for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland!
    There's nothing so good as billing yourself up as "Great", especially in today's agre.

    Anyway, your idea would be rather embarrassing for the Welsh team would it not?!

    Generally, answers to this question seem to be geo-political or historical. Ok, we get 'why' historically Great Britain enters the Olympics instead of entering as its separate component countries. But really, the elephant in the room, the crux of the question is "why doesn't England have the balls to enter under its own banner"? Seriously, aren't you a little embarrassed? You can dress it up any way you like but it looks kinda desperate and funny to the rest of us.
    Take a look at how many responses this topic has generated. It's cultural confusion in here! There are complex justifications as far as the eye can see. Doesn't that tell you something? C'mon, England! Take off the Union Jack safety helmet and get in the game!
    Love and respect.

    Sticking with the direction this thread is going, I believe each household should be able to enter the Olympics as a separate entity.

    If 65% of babies are white British, how do you equate that to Britian becoming a Muslim country?
