England to pull out of 2010 Commonwealth Games

I may have read the wrong artical but I understand that the English not the british team are considering not going to deli. Some seem to forget that FIFA is on this year and the winter olyipics are unerderway, If I was a extremist and wanted the whole wold to stand up and take nitice it would be at the World cup IN SouthAFICA which Enfland is going to. THen the winter games then mabye the commwnwealth, Besides there are wankers everywere of all ages races and religions that are disterbed and can strike when we have our gard down and least expect it not when we spend 2 to 4 years prepearing for it. I am currently a Kiwi Living in VAncouver and if the security bill is anywere close to Vancouver then even the swine flu wont get a chance. hmmmmmmmmm

In light of the recent events surrounding Cpl Apiata, perhaps Andrew would like to review his comments regarding NZ's 'neutral stance'...

My my, a lot of Brit bashing going on by Kiwis who probably have never set foot outside of their Islands. Mmm lets see NZ the neutral country, not "meddling" in others affairs. Well we all know that neutral, liberal, tree hugging, sandal wearing PC types cannot be trusted, it's a good job that the Aussies are flying the antipodean flag in Afghanistan and supporting the UK,US,Canada and others in fighting terrorism which could come right on to to your doorstep anytime. The world is a dangerous place and NO ONE is safe, do you really believe there weren't Muslims working in the WTC towers that fateful day, NO ONE is safe from this kind of terrorism, which is why we are fighting it in their back yard.

If India cancels CWG and decide to conduct IPL instead then these morons will be ready to even play next to the PAK border. How idiotic and silly of these hypocrites. Remember there cricket team came back to earn loads of money even after terrorist attacks. These britons should never be welcome in India. They change there stance depending upon the money they get. CWG has nothing as compared to IPL. UK SUCKS

Oh com'on you bloody sooks. London had train bombings and airport attacks and all media calls is Londonistan - why stage the event in UK? You bloody sooks just need to take a chill pill. The event will be safe and fine and good. I think its a major case of having problems that "brown man" can stage a games event successfully. Bloody Hypocrites. UK bombing = Safe and India bombing = Unsafe. IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN U ALL SHOULD BOYCOTT LONDON OLYMPICS TOO

What a shame some of you Kiwis think like that. I know a few Kiwis serving in the British armed forces and they are top blokes. I can see why they left such a left wing tree hugging country now.NZ is far from being a main player on the world front, in fact your probably sat behind Lapland on the world rankings. Let the other countries of the world sort out the mess, you just sit back and moan about it. Get over yourself and stick to providing us with the worlds best rugby team

Andrew, as a keen student of history, you must know that those 'failed colonisation policies of yesteryear' were directly responsible for the creation of the country in which you live and are so proud of. As for NZ's neutrality....we'll see. People only tend to take the moral highground so long as it suits them. It wasn't so long ago that this country was promoting itself as the champion of all things environmental. Then somebody figured out that cows fart, and all of a sudden it was "Yes, but we're so small, we only produce 0.2% of CO2 emmissions, so it doesn't really count". I wonder if your tolerent view of radical Islam would change if there was a bombing in Wellington or Auckland?

@UK Dave and other spineless whining Poms. If your country didn't meddle in the affairs of other countries then you wouldn't be facing the security concerns you do. It is our neutral stance that opens doors internationally, which Poms and Yanks find firmly shut. Take a look at your own Government and it's meddling policies before you start slagging off Kiwis you tossers. Go back to school and learn some history about the failed colonisation policies of yesteryear that have resulted in the vast number of problems the world faces today. If you believe the bullshit and hype that Muslims are terrorists then maybe you aren't welcome in India. Stay home dickheads and wallow in your own excrement.

Wait till New Zealand has its 1st suicide bombers then talk about spineless, as once the bombs have gone off there are a lot of body's laying around without spines. Have you never seen the old news reels of when the IRA blew up bombs and you see the firemen shovelling what's left of innocent humans. Or got to bali for this new year holiday?

Bill might not be as ignorant as you all think. Perhaps the missing "e" is not a mistake. Perhaps he means that our cricket team has only fast bowlers. Maybe he means our skaters can't manage a triple Lutz. It's possible he means our divers cannot complete a double piked somersault with three twists. Most likely however, is that he is simply as ignorant as he appears.
