Watching the closing ceremony in Beijing, you cannot help but being amazed at the imagination and quality on display from the Chinese.
It was thus with some dismay I watched Boris Johnson walk in with the Beijing mayor to wave the Olympic flag. An ill-fitting suit, unbuttoned, a bad hair-do (which admittedly is par for the course with Boris).
Then came the London welcoming presentation. Unimaginative, lack of messages, badly executed.
Embarrasing.
