Am i the only one who thinks that the London 2012 Olympics are a complete waste of money in the current economic climate? I actually think the only reason we were awarded the Olympics was because the worldwide recession was completely forecasted back in 2005 hence Tony Blairs decision to stand aside before it hit the fan. As for the legacy, we are left with a football stadium for either West Ham, Spurs or Orient which will be funded to the tune of 20 million pounds a year of taxpayers money. Imagine how many nurses, policemen, teachers, hospitals and other public services could have benefited from the money spent on this glorified sportsday...A complete waste of money imho.
