OLYMPICS TO COST £10 BILLION!!! Whattt!

[joy division]

This is just staggering to me,

Now lets take the cost of this and the small cost of the invasion of Iraq and the middle east which i think goes into 100's of billions of pounds.

Could we not of solved all poverty and starving in the world with this amount of spondoolis?

I think i have just come up with the greates idea IN THE WORLD!!:eek:

Hey, but look on the bright side, you get a new swimming pool, a few coliseums, and a few extra people for a month. Now doesn't that make you feel better as a law abiding , tax paying citizen? :D:D

The Olympics bill is to be put on the London council tax payer, we already have the highest council tax in the country and the olympics will only benefit the boroughs near where the village is to be built. And then that will only be a benefit for the months the olympic's are staged, as afterwards the area will be left derilect and unused like the Dome from 2000 and Wembley from the 1930's world fair when the original stadium was built. If you walk around the back streets of Wembley still now there are plenty of derilect buildings which have never been used from the 1930's world fair.

The UK governement take £84billion in taxes from the UK driver every year but only put £7billion back into the transport system. So where the hell does the £67billion go?

I am sick to the teeth with the Inland revenue, they had owed me just under a £1000 in over paid taxes for 6 years, which means they earnt a hell of a lot of interest on my money, but didn't offer any of it to me. Although if a self employed person misses there declaration by just a few days they are fined.

Rant over.

There are now plans to tax the interest we earn on our savings, will they actually ever allow us to try and save for a pension, which we will need as once again the state pension fund has disappeared.

I have just heard Blair say on the news that money is no issue as far as the Olympics are concerned. Of course it isn't, he's not the poor bugger paying for it. Money shouldn't be an issue for the health service, education or old folk trying to make ends meet on the pittance of a pension they get. The sooner he goes the better.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[raffles]

Does anyone in the uk really give a toss about the olympics ?

Not me raffles, not if it is put first before the populations well being.


There are people homeless, there are old people dying cause they casnt afford there heating bills mostly due to there pensions being ripped off them by the governtment, there a still ghetto type housing estates and run down places not just in the London but every where!

Now this is where i rather see £10 BILLION pounds better spent.


Annnnnnnnnd they could build a lot more prisons for all the scumbags being let to run wild on the streets cause of the poor criminals Human Rights!!!

Stick 20 to a fucking Cell if you ask me, they would not be in a hurry to back then!
