The Olympics

I shall not be watching the Olympics and so will see none of the advertisements which have gone to fund them. This is as a protest against China's rule in Tibet.

As regards the UK team I wonder why they are not called just that. Instead, despite three members being from Northern Ireland, it is called Team GB (N. Ireland is not, of course, in Great Britain). Why?

I asked that question of the Olympics organisation and they have been unable to tell me.
