I totally agree with this couple I am disgusted. I was not aware they would slap the bill onto us Londoners. They wanted the damn thing here, I was against it and so was a lot of people that I know. I mean, a and e at hospitals are shutting and they build this isor and put in millions when they need hospital units for sick children and people waiting. I cant put down bad language but you can imagine what I feel anyway. Plus the train line from where I live goes straight thru to it, its over crowded now as it is, so no one will be getting on it when that happens, for a matter of couple of weeks and we are left with the bill, just flaming great.

GUEST22984	The 2012 Olympics, multibillion pound scam with a two weeks athletics event tacked on to the front end. Nobody apart from a small number of the deluded and those in on the scam care about the Olympics and see it for what it is.

I understand why you guys do not want London to hold 2012 Olympics. It costs too much money. The Asian Games was held in Guangzhou. Some news reports claim that Guangzhou borrowed a lot of money to hold the Asian Games. The officials said that they needed time to calculate and promised to publicize the expenditure in 2013.

In 2005, Guangzhou promised that the total expenditure for the 2010 Asian Games would be less than 2 billion yuan. On Oct. 13, 2010, the mayor of Guangzhou disclosed at the news conference that the total investment in 2010 Asian Games was about 120 billion yuan. However, an official in Guangzhou said that the total expenditure was about 210 billion yuan. The chief of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Finance finally denied and said that the total budget was 13.6 billion yuan and the actual expenditure was 9.1 billion.

Whom should we believe?
