Genius!
Yes, a whopping 4.5% of the population has registered its support for the London 2012 Olympic Bid. That`s almost as many people who voted for Labour in the election.
I`m confused as to why Old Trafford has managed to become a London olympic venue. Have the electoral boundaries been changed to include Greater Manchester?
I personally don`t want to see loads of money wasted on this rubbish (why not spend it on the NHS, schools, homeless…?) £2.375 billion could go a long way. Still it`s nice to see a big middle finger flipped to the rest of the UK as London once again becomes the only place of importance. I contacted the London2012 people and asked them where I could register opposition to the bid, and was told that there was no official means to do so as it wasn`t in their interest.
So there we go, the other 63 million UK residents want the olympics by default. Let`s hope the bid is successful, as the idiots behind it have already started spending the money.
On top of this ID card scheme, expect a rather tasty little dent in your wages.
Update: thanks to Red Ken`s blog, I`ve added a link to somewhere to say `no` to the bid. Woo. Although the number of people listed as saying no is engulfed by the supposed 3 million UK personages saying yes, it would have been nice for Seb “Daley Thompson would have kicked my ass” Coe and his mates to have allowed us the opportunity for balanced opinion.
Spastics.
