It would appear that there’s a distinct lack of enthusiasm for holding the 2012 Olympic Games in London, which I have to say I share. I really don’t believe that our infrastructure can support the games or, indeed, be made to support them without spending more than we can afford. Besides, if they’ve got that much money to throw around, maybe it should be spent on other, more worthy, causes. I’m sure there are a great many homeless people, for instance, who could be helped. The odd hospital or school could be given a hand, too.

There’s also the fact that London isn’t the only big city in the UK. If we have to bring the Olympics here, why not give Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow or somewhere a look-in?
