  • I'm eagerly waiting for London Olympics 2012 and expect that,India will perform more better than Beijing.
  • What a waste of taxpayers money. Said it would cost £2.4 billion in 2005 - actual cost in 2011 is £9.3 billion and rising. Grass routes sport in the UK has been decimated because of this. Hosting the Olympic Games = jingoistic willy waving. The ticketing fiasco has been an utter shambles but don't worry, all the 2012 apologists like Beckham, Dame Kelly, Sir Steve etc etc will be there with the rest of the prawn sandwich brigade on a corporate freebie. meanwhile Sepp Blatter and the rest of his Fifa cronies will be chauffeured driven to and from their 5 star Mayfair hotels to events in "Zil lanes" while millions of London folk struggle to work. The whole charade is a complete disgrace.
