Work starts on Olympic site

With news that London is now odds on favourite to win the 2012 Olympic bid work has already started on the site.
The site near Homerton Road and Stratford High Road has seen builders arive this morning and start to demolish buildings. When I spoke to them and asked them what they were doing I was told,
"It's for the Olympics, this is going to be the site"
I am trying to organise a demonstration later today and try and stop or slow progress on the construction.

More seriously, you do NOT want a world where everyone is equal. You do need a world where some people who have talents can use them. I do not want to be operated on by a surgeon whose talents are 'equal' to others, or cross a bridge designewd by people of 'equal' talent.
I assume he doesn't watch films or listen to music either, since these are activities indulged in by people of greater talent.

The olympic games as an idea were not bad. wars weer stopped in ancient greece and people came together in a peaceful event. But now the same companies that promote wars all over the world to get contracts when its all done, and abuse human rights by slave labour, prison labour, and child labour are now gonna make a fortune (and trust me they will be the only benefactors) by putting their names in proud association with the games. U think tourism will increase? London is the 2nd most expensive city in Europe and could become the most expensive should you win 2012. It wont even be affordable on a Londoners salary let alone a foreigners. If all that isnt enough, most athletes are now doped up, the olympics will provide the govt with further excuses to increase terror laws, and the govt will anounce further cuts on hospitals and schools.
