What will you as an English person gain from England hosting the 2012...

...olympics that we are paying for?? I don't want my money going to something like that I'd rather it go to Hospitals, Nursing homes, childrens homes and better policing!!
Sydney is welcome to it!!!

Nowt, Zilch. Total waste of money and just a junket for the rich and famous, just like the opening of the Dome in 2000 was. I never got an invite, did you?

You can bet the politicians and luvies wont have to buy a ticket for the Olympics like the rest of us will.

Couldn't agree more and the only thing I see coming from this is humiliation. The writing is on the wall for it to go pear shaped, as it has been a lash up from day one.

I agree with you, thank you for saying it!
