SO Nigel Collins thinks that someone should be “hung, drawn and quartered” for allowing a German Motor company to head the Olympic Torch parade.
Unfortunately for him, BMW won the sponsorship deal allowing them that privilege and is one of the sponsors of the London Olympics.
Any other motor company could have pitched for the sponsorship, and we must remember that the Olympics is an international institution and host nations cannot restrict sponsorship and the associated advertising to UK only companies, and let’s face it, if they did, what a poor relation the London efforts would become without the “foreign” investment!
