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.We shouldn't try, in fact we shouldn't even be having the bloody thing in the first place. It will end up being a bottomless pit for OUR money and the only people interested in it are a small minority of people and the likes of SEB COE and his cronies who are riding high on gravy train. Most of us are not bothered and care even less. STOP IT NOW! before any more money is wasted, and build some decent, affordable housing for British Citizens on the sites.
in a word no
if the general public were asked to vote if they wanted the olympics in this country, then we would not be holding it, its obvious that nobody wants it here anyway and lets face it we all pay for the darn thing with our taxes anyway, there is no way we can possibly compete with Beijing, this country is going down hill fast.
Who gives a dam?
My only Sop to the Olympics wil be to Lie on a beach in Greece.
No TV or News Papers and best of all No Politics.
Remember the wembly stadium fiasco.
Not a chance.
