[quote=GUEST60251,315556]Well for those who think that talking about money is not in the spirit of the Olympics - get real. The Olympic games fuel business plain and simple. Whoever says it's not about showing off - think again. The Olympic games have always been politically charged and filled with one-up-manship. In saying that the London Olympics will unfortunately be a big let down. As an English man I can say that the Great in GB has paled, unless of course you class chav culture as great. Visitors to the Olympics will be shocked to see the real Britain and the real London. My wife is foreign (oriental) and was in shock when she first came here. She was expecting polite and well behaved honest people as many foreigners still think we are like ("a land of ladies and gentlemen"). All she experienced was racist abuse and aggression. As for the opening ceremony - we're skint as a country. How can we compete with the country who will soon be the richest and powerful in the world. The only thing that will compare is with China's communist ideology and Gordan Brown's Stalanist control. After seeing the Opening ceremony two weeks ago, I think that 2012 are the games all other countries are glad not to be hosting.[/quote]
