While our papers and politically-correct BBC gush about the coming “triumph” of the 2012 London Games, the rest of the world is laughing at us. As governments around the world are forced to cut spending, Britain has been lumbered with the massisve waste of money that is the Olympic Games. These were due to cost us taxpayers “only” £2.4bn but under the “management” (ha ha) of Sebastian Coe and his well-paid cronies (many of whom earn more than the PM), the Games will probably cost over £10bn. That would have paid for a lot of nurses, teachers and policemen, but instead it’s being wasted on a couple of weeks of drug-enhanced supposed “sport”. It’s a pity the public-sector unions haven’t protested about this enormous waste of money. Of course, Mr Coe and the other Olympocrats will emerge from this disaster as very rich people while the rest of us foot the bill for their get rich scheme.
Once again we get screwed by the rich and powerful as they make themselves even richer at our expense.
