Defence Secretary: Falklands ad 'breach of one of the fundamental principles of the Olympics'
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has given his reaction to Argentina's Olympics advert filmed on the Falkland Islands.
He told Sky News' Boulton & Co:
– Defence Secretary Philip Hammond"I think it's tasteless, it's provocative and very insulting to the many British soldiers, sailors and airmen who gave their lives protecting the Falkland Islands.
"I also think it's a breach of one of the fundamental principles of the Olympics: that politics is set aside, that nobody should exploit the Olympic logo, the Olympic message, for political purposes.
"I hope the International Olympic Committee will be looking at that."
