Tony - those companies will all need to emply people here and pay tax into britains coffers. Whilst there is no direct benefit the indirect gain is clear.
Yes, of course BOSH, there will be a temporary blip in employment and therefore tax revenue - but hardly on the scale of the outlay. Especially given that many of the jobs created will be fairly low paid service and construction industry ones. And will they all go to British workers? Also any organising body will use volunteers as much as possible.
My basic gripe is that as a Londoner, I am being sold the Olympics on the basis of a lie. However, I am happy to get a new velodrome for my contribution.
