So let's turn out in force at their meeting and give the bastards a small taste of the resistance they will encounter if they dare push this scheme on Hackney. Of course ranting at these scumbags in their patronising little meeting won't get us very far in the long term. Those interested in more effective resistance, when the time comes, however, can take the opportunity immediately afterwards to meet up in the Lord Cecil just over the road. At the very least we can begin networking.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Details of the meeting are as follows:
PUBLIC MEETING
IMPACT FOR HACKNEY OF 2012 LONDON OLYMPIC BID
Thursday July 24th 7.30 - 9.30pm
School Room, Round Chapel, Lower Clapton Road, London E5 0PU. Entrance in Powerscroft Road.
A panel from Hackney Council, GLA, the Mayor's Office and Lee Valley Park will talk about the current position and answer questions from the audience: although these must be submitted in writing at the start of the meeting(!)

It is not the "so-called capital", it blatantly IS the capital. It's bigger and more diverse than any other city in Britain, and probably Europe. It has the British Parilament in it and the centre of financial power too, not to mention being listed as Britain's capital in any number of maps, atlases, guide books and encyclopedias.
Love it or hate it, that's a pretty capital city.
I agree that cities other than Britain should host major events, but let's not kid ourselves that London is not the capital city. It obviously is.
And can the "so-called" bollocks. It makes you sound like a Daily Mail letter writer.
Homie Truth
