Can London compete with Beijing in 2012?
Although Britain’s athletes shone at the Beijing Olympics, the UK has been ridiculed for its role in the handover ceremony
Boris Johnson was labelled as 'arrogant, rude and disrespectful' by critics of his handling of the flag and the speech in which he proclaimed “ping pong is coming home”. Leona Lewis, Jimmy Page and David Beckham’s performances also came in for criticism, with bloggers branding the whole thing ridiculous.However, the show put on by the Chinese has been received with nothing but praise. Do you think that London can live up to its promises for 2012 despite concerns over the budget? Or will GB become the laughing stock of the world?

I do not think it is fair that it is just only for Londoners and people from Beijing to compete, the Olympics just gone had lots of other nations doing stuff, like running, jumping swimming and such.

After the bad taste of the near exploding london bus (7/7) It will probably be another expensive white elephant and what an advert to come to the uk -rain, bus queues and exploding buses.
I feel sorry for the athletes who have put their hearts and souls in training with poor funding.Can London compete with Beijing in 2012?No -
