The title of this thread is "Olympics 2012...what price is to much?"
So far not a single responce has even sugested there should be a limit!.
Which is probably what there wont be ( any limit)...around 10 billion and rising...no small change is it?..and from an original estimate of 2.5 billion ( any estimater in any business ive heard of would be sacked for getiing it so wrong)
I wonder what that kind of dosh builds in hospitals?...
certainly somthing far more usefull that a couple of weeks entertainment.
The goverment have just annonced 39 million to fund 10 week "taster" courses to encourage 11 to 19 yr olds to try various sports...but as Lib Dem culture spokesman Don Foster points out this "barely scratches the surface" of what has been taken from grassroots sport to cover the 2012 Olympic budget black hole.
To counter the argument that the olympics will encourage youngster to get into sport and maybe stop this epidemic of obesity in this county , well it it aint done nothing to stop the yanks getting fatter has it?...and it wont stop our kids iether.
