British Prime Minister Under Pressure Over Olympics

[William769]

Like President Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron has vowed that his country will attend the Winter Olympics in Russia. But Cameron is facing push-back for his stance.

Activist Peter Tatchell's new campaign is called "Love Russia, Hate Homophobia" and The Guardian reports that a protest will be staged on September 3 nearby Cameron's doorstep at Downing Street just before the highly visible G20 summit, which President Vladimir Putin is still scheduled to host.

Protesters calling for solidarity with Russian LGBTs already gathered by the hundreds this month in London.

Now it's clear that Cameron is aware of the mounting political pressure. The Guardian and the Daily Mail report that the prime minister met privately with actor Stephen Fry at the Grapes pub in Limehouse after he called on his country to boycott.

2. I think we are going to see a snowball effect in th EU

I myself don't think President Obama given the last word on this either. I can't explain it, just a feeling I have.
