read today that the tube 'definitely cannot cope' with the Olympics.
That's a pity. You could have just spent 10 fucking billion upgrading it then. Or the rail network. Or 10 new state of the art hospitals. Or alleviated the pressure on the police force/universities/namepublicservice. Or put a pretty comprehensive cycle path network that actually means something more than a disregarded white line six inches from the gutter.
But no. We get the fucking awesome spectacle of a few million newly skint and bemused tourists who came 'for a really great party' wandering around Bethnal Green eating jellied eels and wearing plastic rain ponchos, still shell shocked by the spectacle of Paul McCartney flailing his creaking limbs about whilst trying not to prolapse surrounded by some sedated farm animals, whilst the police are trying out their new tasers and sound canons and whatever the fuck else they are trialling thanks to the MOD sales dept. in the event we might not appreciate the inconvenience all this bombastic wankery will inevitably cause.
Great deal for the British public. Thanks.
