East London Fire - 2012 Olympics Effected.

But you make it sound like the buildings being built get demolished the second the games end. There is a chance that the UK will make good use and somehow make the money back over x amount of years by using the buildings for future events. There is that possibility, nothing is all black and white.

I personally think the games will be good for us, and also the same with the Commonwealth Games in Scotland. Increases tourism for our countries, and will also boost our ecconomy. The Olympics is more then just some 'silly event'. Its encouraging excersise, when child obiesity is at a all time high and its going to improve public transport. As previously stated, its not just all black and white.

Surely the government will get money back when these new it is being used, e.g ticket prices etc. And whoever said Undertaker isn't proud to be British...are you kidding?:rolleyes: Some of his views are extreame right wing.

Tourism isn't great atm...

I think we lack culture at the moment. We should be British, not multi-cultural so people are confused with what we have done...

Agreed. We are being told to try and make other cultures happy but we are forgetting our own :(

The buildings will not be used after the event, I personally can't think of many events that could run frequently and make enough money to sustain the costs. A good example is the Dome.

As I have repeated before, the cost of the Games greatly outweighs any money that comes in. Oh and i'm proud to be English :)

Said Micheal Howard :P

Oh I am, the Dome is and was a disgrace just like the Olympics will be. Millions were wasted on the Dome, Billions will be wasted on the Games.

Undertaker, you use the word 'will' alot. Can you tell the future now aswell? The truth is, you dont know jack about the outcome of the games, and you won't know untill after they have happend.
