        Just hope it's not a sinking gravy boat or he could get shafted up the oxo tower.

            I got pissed off reading this. Yes the whole games are costing too much, but this article is typical whingeing lefty bulltulip.

            ...in a city still recovering from riots that the Guardian-LSE Reading the Riots project showed were partly fuelled by resentment at the Olympics' lavish cost.

            ...a massive security operation, of unprecedented scale, largely to protect wealthy and powerful people and corporations.

            Already, the Dorset police are proudly boasting that their new number-plate recognition cameras, built for sailing events, are allowing them to catch criminals more effectively.


            They'd soon be on the case if a clever terrorist operation succeeds, or a protest group disrupted everything. Or maybe not, to the Grauniad it seems even terrorists must be 'understood'.
