Press Coverage of UKIP's Olympic Campaign

The Evening Standard as could have been expected was first off the mark with coverage linked here.

The headline of the London evening paper 'UKIP backs Paris for Games bid' is taken a step further in the EPolitix coverage which opts for "UKIP snubs London 2012 bid" which coverage may be read from here.

My initial reaction is that this is a bold PR stroke that will gain in value down the months if not years to come, especially as the extent of the Athens' hangover becomes widely apparent and the aftermath of Olympic corruption and drug disqualification take their possibly final toll on the remaining sparkle of an increasingly tarnished event. The propaganda that will be made of the 2008 Beijing olympics will not aid that organisations reputation unless there are huge and immediate gains in human rights within that country.

For once an inspired UKIP move, putting them ahead of - rather than well behind public opinion and events!
