The UK will be sending Olympians to China’s Beijing games, although it will keep officials at home in a poor simulacrum of a boycott, according to Boris Johnson. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed that UK athletes will be allowed to go to the Winter Olympics in Beijing. Johnson however did say that the UK government will join the US in their alleged “diplomatic boycott” of the Genocide Games by not sending any politicians or officials to the event. “There will be effectively a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing,” Johnson said during Prime Ministers Questions in House of Commons. “No ministers are expected to attend and no officials.” The prime minister also claimed that the UK has had “no hesitation” in raising the issue of the Uyghur genocide with the Chinese Communist party, but revealed he’d decided to take absolutely no real action in the high-profile opportunity the Olympics provides, as he did not think that an actual sporting boycott would be “sensible”.
