i do have independant thought and i was against the Olympic bid from day one, mainly because of the lack of support the manchester bids got then Manchester were awarded the Commonwealth games and what happens the London bid team nick manchester's ideas and with Tory Tony Blair supporting it put in a bid for the Olympics. the original cost was about £2.6b still way to much to put on a games festival for amateur athletes. Now it is costing £9.6b and an extra £60m found for security at the games, similar to the £60m taken from Salford council by the current government policies. We are now seeing dodgy property deals where the olympic village as been bought for half its market value, surely these flats would have been ideal as new social/council housing but no they are going into the private rental sector. Another 80,000+ stadium in London that will not be used after the games wasting £600m, Wembley should have been built with a running track so killing two birds with one stone and saving millions.
rant over
