This is a serious post by the Latchco

With the Olympic games being held in China in a several months time, it’s extremely relevant to mention that the Chinese Communists regime has had a pretty awful record when in comes to human rights.
The Olympic games will bring in a vast amount of money into the country. With this in mind, the governments of the world now how have a golden opportunity to stop the Chinese communist leaders human rights offences, by pulling out of the games if the Chinese government do not change their ways.
This is a topic that is widely been discussed by all strands of the media. So why write on a topic that the media has already extensively reported on? The reason for writing on this topic is because it is a point that needs to be reiterated.
People will have the opinion that a boycott will never achieve a long-term change in the abuses of their people and that after the cameras have gone, the government will revert back to their old ways. There is a chance that this happen but it would be much better for the governments of the world to try and enact change in China, rather than sitting on their backsides and do nothing.
People also think that the worlds of politics and sport should always be separate, but in this case the two are inextricably mixed. The Communists party in China will use this in order to gloss over the abuses the government have carried out over the years. This is another extremely important reason for the governments of the world need to boycott the games in the summer.
What has the Hairy Latchco done to try and stop this abuse, other than writing an embittered post on a blog? To be honest with you, the answer is nothing. The Latchco will sign a petition to against the human rights abuses, how ever futile that maybe.
Bottom line, this is a golden opportunity that the governments around the globe are in danger of letting slip through their collective fingers, the time for action is now, the governments must try and save the people of China more pain and suffering.
