Should all UK taxpayers foot the bill for the London Olympics?

The cost of the 2012 London Olympics could end up reaching £20 billion - 10 times as much as the original estimate, a former 2012 boss has claimed. It has even been suggested that the rising cost of the games will be spread across the UK, with taxpayers who live outside of London footing the bill. Do you think that this is fair?

    The Olympic Games should always be held in Greece, and the participating countries should all chip in a bit to pay for it.

    It would be so much cheaper on money and the earth's precious resources if it was always in the same place. Greece is the obvious choice and they certainly put on a good show when it was there last time.
