Formula One

I feel rather more comfortable now that the Bahrain Grand Prix has been called off.  I wasn't quite sure how I felt when the news broke that it was being rescheduled - as a TV spectator I would have enjoyed watching it, but given what has happened (and apparently is continuing to happen) there, I would have felt bad about giving tacit support to what is clearly a not very nice regime.  It would be better if sport and politics could be kept separate, but particularly in today's mercenary world, it just ain't possible - even the cancellation of the race carries with it certain political implications
