The bad points are that Blair will crow about it as if it is his personal doing.
It will be EXPENSIVE, and although everyone always says how much it will earn, I have my reservations.
The good point is that it will p*** off the French. _________________ The Middle Eastern states aren't nations; they're quarrels with borders.- P. J. O'Rourke
Now I can open my email homepage without seeing a FLASH of Aussie athletes saying they won't retire or will come out of retirement if New York gets the Games
This will be London's third time as host _________________ EXPAT IN CHINA
it is going to cost each of us "only" 38 pence a week from now until 2012, to pay for the building of the required facilities.
Another report reckons the cost will be 10 - 12 Billion Pounds.
There will be immediate job losses of around 15,000 to 17,000 jobs, where businesses are being closed to allow redevelopment of the olympic site.
One business owner complained that his company had been operating for over a century, and Hitler hadnt closed him down, but Blair will.
EVERY large project that has been instigated in recent years has cost far mroe than projected, and ALL of those that Blair has had any involvement in have been disasters.
The Millenium Dome is a prime example of spending a fortune (way over estimate) to end up wth a white elephant.
The Portsmouth Millenium Tower is STILL not yet finished, and the cost so far is around 600% over budget. _________________ The Middle Eastern states aren't nations; they're quarrels with borders.- P. J. O'Rourke

My sentiment exactly, it's all very well to be cheering about becoming the proud host of the Olympics, but there are the practicalities which the policitians don't seem to consider, or care. As a British I'm happy for London, at the same time I feel for the residents there who ultimately will be paying for policitians glory.
