Major Lee, you fail to grasp that the profit your so keen about will be private profit in the main ...most going to non british taxpayers on a project bassicly paid for by the british taxpayer.
Perhaps you'd rather live in China, if you feel that private enterprise is so wrong.

You mention a rise in share prices pre Barcalona as if thats a good thing.
Please explain how a boost in the economy, as indicated by a rising stock market, is bad for the country? Stocks and shares aren't the preserve of the privileged few.

Perhaps connsider that next time you fuel your car and frown at the price of it. A price not down to the shortage of supply of oil but purely down to future traders on stock exschanges who dont give a fig for the horrendes damage caused to a country`s economy.
Actually I couldn't tell you the price of petrol. I walk to work, the kids walk to school and the wife works from home. Why? 5 years ago I was sat in yet another traffic jam on my 80 mile commute and realised that I was spending more than a long working day sat in traffic every week just to get to work. I realised I couldn't change the road system, the price of oil, nor countless other things about the country that piss me off but I could change how and where I worked. The price of oil is dictated by supply and demand. The 'supply' element is a shortage of alternative suppliers as much as a shortage of the actual product. You know, like taxi drivers charging double fare on New Year's Eve?
You aren't going to change the way the world works. You can change your own immediate purlieu - you just need to know what it is you want. So far you've railed against the Olympics as being the evil empire but haven't suggested any solutions to the problems (real or not) that you are so hung up on. If you genuinely are Daryl Webster then give David Walsh or Paul Kimmage a call and tell your story. Let the Sunday Times worry about the legal side. I'd certainly buy any book or newspaper that ran the story.
Clearly the Olympics is a huge thorn for you. It shouldn't be. Maybe you didn't live up to your own expectations and, certainly, I recall you and the other riders got a lot of stick for your performance while the BCF kept quiet. I can still remember a letter to Cycling Weekly that, IIRC, you wrote saying that trundling up and down the Great North Road had absolutely nothing to do with Olympic cycling. Well take heart that somebody must have listened because we've got a world beating system to bring kids through. The Olympics have long lost their sporting ideals but is it really that bad?
