Yes - strange that we celebrate the likes of Brunel and show him off to the world during the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games when we normally ignore our achievements at best or more usually decry them as somehow “wrong”.
How odd that some revere a young 16 year old girl for putting herself and others at considerable extra risk by crossing the Atlantic in a Sail Boat rather than do what most people do and fly?
Virtue Signalling as its best and most bizarre. Especially as it’s been revealed now that by saving her one air journey, the crew have had to make FOUR flights over the Atlantic!
Two new crew members flew out from the U.K. to sail the boat back and two who crewed on the way over have flown back from the US.
Barmy.
