Ummm, think you'll find the 'fund for good causes' aka Lettery aka 'fund to pay for things the government should' is forking out a fair bit - which means the rest of the country is paying (as they won't get funds for their project)
Personally, I'm very pleased that the Olympics is coming to London - and I'm not even a real fan of athletics! Anyhing that livens things up has got to be good! I'd even support a bid for World Cup Soccer (and it doesn't get more dire than that!)
