Olympic flag and north Antrim MP Jim Allister

Jim Allister has tabled the Motion below in Parliament condemning what he described as “the disgraceful and blasphemous mocking of Christianity” at the official opening of the Paris Olympics.


Commenting the North Antrim MP Jim Allister said:


“Once more those who would not dare offend any other religion gratuitously and deliberately incorporated into the opening ceremony a gross and blasphemous attack upon something central to Christianity, the Lord’s Supper.



“The offence and outrage caused must be registered in every appropriate forum. Hence my House of Commons motion. I invite other MPs to add their names.”


Mr Allister’s motion reads:


Mocking of Christianity at Olympic Opening Ceremony


This House condemns the gratuitous and offensive mocking of Christianity as part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2024 and instructs the Foreign Secretary to register a protest with the International Olympic Committee.
