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?

    Helen your an idiot..

    you say "London wanted it"
    London is a place not a person. Us londoners did not want it, we didnt get a choice we got stuck with it, just because we live in London doesnt mean were happy about it, most of us are not interested in it. And you say Londoners earn more than the rest of you, well yes that is true but we also pay much more tax and everything else. Everything in London is more expensive Eg: houses, council tax, even car insurance. so we need to earn more just to live in the City, doesnt mean were any better off.
