We should forget all about the UK Olympics in 2012 …. and let China have a second go it it.
We’d save the country in general (and Londoners in particular) a load of money.
Couldn’t agree more.
I live and work in London and the Olympics has crippled London.
I saw an article in the paper about how the London Olympic Committee is disappointed in the lack of local business trying to get contracts for work. Maybe it’s because all the local businesses have been closed and about 3000 have lost their jobs to make way for it. Or how local companies have been offered millions by developers for their land to build luxury flats for the Olympics. Not to mention the £35 per week its costing the London tax payer. Oh you also have to pay £3000 to get on the list and allow Ken to see your company accounts for the past 5 years just to get considered.
