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?
