2 years ago london wins teh IOC bidding for the games, and the budget : £2.4 billion

today, the estimate is about £9.35billion........

based on a rough estimate of 40million taxpayers, yes i know companies and sponsorship, this that the other and the whatever, still about £240 odd per person....and i still cant get a fricking ticket coz the sponsors and hangers on get first dibs.....unless i want to see synchronised drowning with a bunch of hippos in leotards.....

its ridiculous why do we want it in london or anywhere in this country? it always loses money and in a few years all the building will be laying around doing nothing!
 
Apparantly Tessa Jowell would be quite happy for a plumber to start work on her heating system for an agreed £240, but invoice her by the end for £935.

Oh wait, she'll just pay for it from those few hundred K from Italy that she didn't know anything about despite her using it for a joint deposit on a house.

Corrupt as you like.
