  1. Plenty of people do think he will as it be a perfect issue for Trump TV to then attack Biden for.
  2. A lot of people expect Trump to sign lots of crazy orders in early January that he can forever attack Biden rescinding them Once January 20th comes.
  3. http://www.businessworld.in/article/Trump-signs-order-banning-Americans-from-investing-in-companies-that-support-Chinese-military-/13-11-2020-342251/ If Trump signs a pro boycott order I cant see Biden rescinding it due to the popularity of being tough on China.
  4. In October one of their front-bench mentioned in the commons a boycott of Bejing 2022 should be considered.
  5. The Centre left SNP has said a boycott should consider boycotting. No way is GB not boycotting if both the right and left are pro boycott- the BOA will not be able to resist that level of pressure.
  6. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-12/australia-encouraged-to-boycott-beijing-winter-olympics/12876106 I still think a boycott by quite a few countries will happen. Team GB's funding model means the government has the power to turn off the taps if the BOA won't comply.
  7. He might have to for electoral purposes.

  10. A lot of athletes will get a big shock if they not emotionally prepared to not be able to go.
  11. The UK Parliament might vote to order Disney to be summoned to explain it's involvement in China. Don't underestimate how popular a boycott of 2022 will be in most countries - only athletes might be willing to publicly oppose come this time next year.
  12. The BOA is opposing a boycott but the government seems to still be considering it.

  15. https://www.insidethegames.biz/index.php/articles/1099639/coates-beijing-2022-bill-brisbane-2032 Australia might end up getting banned from the olympics - surely that will cause an u turn - the summer olympics is very popular there.

  17. https://ipolitics.ca/2020/10/08/boycotting-the-2022-winter-games-should-be-one-way-canada-sticks-it-to-china/ Athletes saying they will go no matter what might end up being seen as being pro Regime.
  18. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-11/should-australia-boycott-the-beijing-2022-winter-olympic-games/12751614 I don't think it was as diverse in the UK - A few sports boycotted but those who went suffered no reputational harm.
  19. But in the UK the funding means if the government wants a boycott funding for athletes might end.

  23. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1344769/beijing-winter-olympics-2022-uk-boycott-iain-duncan-smith-dominic-raab 'IAIN Duncan Smith has backed calls for a boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022 over human rights abuses by China.' http://www.mcivortimes.com.au/national/2020/10/07/1720686/minister-cool-on-chinese-olympics-boycott 'Australia's sports minister has shrugged off calls to boycott the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics over human rights abuses in China.' '"It is not the government but the independent Australian Olympic Committee who are responsible for sending teams to winter and summer Olympic Games," he told parliament on Wednesday.'
  24. Meanwhile Labour Mp Graham Stringer ( More nationalistic than many Labour Mp's) reminded Raab of Thatcher's failed attempts to get Team GB to boycott 1980.
