Is this the only place one can be cynical about the Olympics? It feels like legislation may have been changed to make criticism of the Olympics an act of Treason.
I was thinking today about how I would answer the reporter in the street asking what the Olympics meant to me:-
5 weeks of struggling to get into work to earn a wage that is then taxed to pay for a nice summer jolly I've not been invited to for a bunch of bankers, decorated by a load of "designers" paid a fortune to produce utter bile, out of all of which the only discernible effect I will notice will be the additional traffic congestion and a few years of decreased investment in our local area.
