Wait til he gets back to the office and he realises whats in the purse to pay for 2012 :yahoo:
Boris should be very happy. There won't be any more money coming from London council tax payers.
So, How does he tart up London in 4 years time ( Inflation ? )for the world on a budget that is about 1/4 of what the Chinese spent.... oh, not forgetting the huge amount of willing non-union cheap labour available to the Chinese ?
Because we aren't going to try to compete with the Chinese on precision event management. It's just not possible to match what a communist nation can achieve in terms of compliance (you say willing above, but they don't know any different from being told what to do). They forced 1 million cars off the road in the week leading up to the games. Could you imagine that happening any else apart from in China.
What we can offer is London itself. Full of characters, history and tradition. Our events we'll be equally well organised as the Chinese but it won't be the same sort of Olympics.

It was top draw. made particulary better by seeing that boring Brown in the background being upstaged.
