Dont say you were not warned, The Olympics WILL bankrupt London

We do not want to hear too much moaning about the herculean waste of money the 2012 Olympic games have been.

We are telling you all right now it will be much much cheaper to bail out NOW, this folly will NOT cost less than £15 Billion (just you wait and see) and will benefit who exactly?

Well lets see, the "great and the good" will have a nice event to take wives and girlfriends to, Other international leaders "simply must attend"

The mates of IOC members in construction will do rather nicely, as will the IOC members themselves in back handers.

The International Hotel Chains & international airlines all have "friends"on the IOC commitee and will do very well indeed. The global TV networks will make millions in advertising revenue, drinks manufacturers,

The sports equipment manufactures sweat shops in the far east will be so flat out so they will need to start capturing more child slave labour now to cope with future demand.

In short the big players will make a fortune, so will all on the IOC commitee.

As for the rest of us? the message is clear to see
"Go Fuck Yourselves" you are NOT part of the "bigger picture"

The Olympic games is one of the worlds great con tricks designed to make international business millions a one eyed ferret can see, it has fuck all to do with sport. Its all about making money.

Just Remember this post in 2013, when some wanker MP tells you that "now you need to start paying for the "fabulous Olympics" we gave you!

That's the one you couldn't get tickets for, because the fat cats and the touts all had their snouts in the trough long before you got a chance to ask how much the tickets cost!


Athens' deserted Games sites a warning to London Olympics

The buildings constructed in Athens for the Olympic Games four years ago are fly blown, closed to the public and covered in graffiti, a forewarning of the possible aftermath of the London Games in 2012.


Of the 22 venues in the city, 21 are in a state of disrepair and under guard to prevent vandalism but the local dog population seem to be enjoying the peace and quite they are afforded in the locked up facilities.

Athens spent more than £9 billion on staging the Olympics, slightly less than the current estimate for the London games.

The hangover from the games was tremendous. Greece was left with a national budget deficit of 6.1 per cent, more than twice the maximum allowed under European Union rules. (you can of course bend any fucking rule you like in the EU, just as long as someone gets a free jolly or a nice little back hander!)


The infrastructure, which was installed in such haste, has proven to be far too extravagant for the city. It is difficult to imagine there was ever much local interest in continuing to use the baseball, kayaking, fencing and handball facilities down the coast at Hellenikon.

A few miles outside the city centre, the sprawling Faliron complex that once hosted the beach volleyball and taekwondo competitions is deserted and a lone security guard has not been able to deter youths from spraying the walls with slogans.

Inside one of the buildings, puddles of water are dotted across the marble floor.

The baseball stadium was briefly used for football matches, until the organisers realised that the shape of the baseball diamond resulted in all the television cameras standing at the corner flag.

Elsewhere at Hellenikon, piles of rubbish are mounting behind heavily padlocked gates and electrical cables hang loose from the walls. On one bridge, every light fitting has been wrenched out, while crumbling concrete is ubiquitous, a sign of the speed at which the complex was built.

At Marathon, where Matthew Pinsent won his fourth Olympic rowing gold medal, the wood has rotted and weeds have blanketed every inch of pavement.
"We are carrying out maintenance," shrugged the caretaker. (Nice one Stav)
The only open venue is the former badminton stadium, which has been transformed into a theatre, which has hosted Swan Lake on Ice and Jesus Christ Super Star.

Many Athenians were unhappy at the huge sums involved in building the Olympic venues. However, national pride has mostly overwhelmed any residual anger or resentment.
"We always wanted the Olympics to come to Athens, and we felt that the Olympics belonged here so we were able to bear the costs," said George Georgakopoulos, a commentator at Kathimerini, a Greek newspaper.

Athenians note that while the venues remain closed, the resurfacing of the roads and the upgrading of the metro system have made the city hugely more habitable.
"Of course mistakes have been made, but we are on the right track now," said Konstantinos Matalas, the president of Hellenic Olympic Properties, the company which the government has formed to find buyers for the venues.
Mr Matalas said several of the venues have now been leased out, and that he had designs for all of them. (looking at the graffiti all over them, so have most of the locals)
A spokesman for the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, said: "Our Games will be truly sustainable in that we are only building facilities that can be used after the Games.
