So how do we feel we will do compared to China in the duty of hosting the next olypics?
I personly think we wont be able to do anything near it, and with our current climate do we really want the 100's of millions thrown at it that it will need to be great when this money is needed in much better places?
to be honest the olympics coming to london etc is a prime reason why i want to GTFO of this country at the minute.
if they really gave a shit about national morale etc they would take the 12bn its going to cost, send a few astronauts to the moon to write in huge, visible from earth letters, the words "piss off germany"
and they could put the change towards actually improving the lives of people in this country
or maybe they could just take all the jobseekers allowances etc to fund it. i dont see why i should foot the bill for the olympics or for lazy people to live on the dole (disability etc fine, not working because your lazy, not fine)
saying that, when the bidding for it was taking place, i was praying that paris and the french would suffer the cost, not us, to top it off i voted tory, campaigned for the tory gits and everything. and now i just want to leave the country ive lived in for a significant portion of my life and leave it to fester. sigh /rant
