London olympic games 2012 to be scrapped. Is this a relief?

Question

..Oh and yes the tax money wasted too. What do you think/

Answer 1

rubbish im still working there

Answer 2

No its bloody well not!  They've just spent £9 billion of our taxes on this daft little game then they can bloody well finish it.  I hate the olympics, but I'm not seeing our money go to waste!

They won't scrap it though, don't worry!

Answer 3

Where exactly did you get that? The games are still on!

Answer 4

no its not a relief, its a load of rubbish

Answer 5

hadn't heard ;)

Answer 6

It might be true because the Britts have realized they have no way to compete  with the glorious and successful events in Beijing.

Answer 7

I have NO idea why any country would want to host the Olympics.  It's just not worth the hassle.  As well as the billions being spent on it just now, you can almost guarantee there will be terrorist problems and we will have to throw another few million out for that.  For god's sake give the games a permanent home somewhere.  As long as it's not UK.

I will make sure I am no where near the UK in 2012.

Answer 8

They are not going to scrap it even if it bankrupts us completely. Too much propaganda value.

"Oh, look at us - ain't we rich and beautiful?"

Answer 9

Cuckoo land is second on the left, right next door to the mental hospital

Answer 10

Wake me up when it's all over.

As a Londoner I now perfectly well that what started out as being called the London Olympics 2012 is slowly being screwed around to becoming the UK Olympics.

I can see the opening ceremony now - a UK event including such as clog dancing and morris dancing and loads of non-london c**p.

London is full of folk from all over the place.  So, when we do have an opening ceremony, I want it to reflect London and that means everything that we are as a city - Hindu hand painted elephants, Muslim music and dance, vulgar English poetry, London Bridge is Falling Dahn - by an army of London kids -that sort of stuff.  Oh yeah and Chas and Dave leading the general knees up.

Answer 11

Rumour Monger.

Answer 12

Oh Dear! must have been a good dream!

You don't think that Tony Blair would have left office without the promise of opening this event do you????????

Answer 13

what?

Answer 14

when there are men, women & children starving or dying of thirst through-out the world,

scrapping the 2012 olympics would make perfect sense, divert our taxes to saving lives rather than enabling the rich to get richer.

The chinese handling of these games has shown the olympics up, for all the cons, from the faked opening ceremony, rigged voting bias to the host, the stifling of journalists reports, unable to highlight the human rights abuses the chinese would prefer the world ignore.

wonder what restrictions will be placed on visiting reporters when 2012 arrives?

No questions allowed about:-

DIRTY NHS hospitals,

over-crowded prisons,

failing schools,

false claims backing up phony wars.......................

To mention a few.

If only cancelling the 2012 games were true.

I can definitely think of better things to spend billions on.

IF ONLY IT WERE TRUE!

Answer 15

Really? Where did you get your info from?

Answer 16

If only

Answer 17

With the islamic extremism in Britain, I am 100% sure that they will face devastation during their Olympics, I have no doubt.  

Answer 18

They won't scrap it. Anything that involves squandering billions of tax payers money must be seem through to the end. Doesn't matter what financial troubles the country has, just spend spend spend. Cost of fuel, living, utilities soaring through the roof, not important, we have got to show off to the rest of the world at least the parts that we are not at war with. We are being told to tighten our belts, why don't we just use them to hang ourselves as no one in this government or politics in general is interested. We are not human beings, we are providers for the laziest incompetent bunch of morons that this country has ever seen. Yes Gordon and his mates will all get gold whilst the rest of us are ushered round the back and silenced.
