With what has just happened in Bahrain would you say it is right to go ahead with the F1 race there?

IMO it is not. By denying the royals a glam event it may make them think of their actions.

    And what about the nations who have been supplying these Arab nations with weapons to keep the people down? If we boycott Bahrain, surely UK, USA, France.............. should also face sporting boycotts.

    Because people are ultimately self interested.

    So, yes boycott them all, or no, boycott none of them? I vote for the latter.
