London 2012 Olympics: Whinge if you want. It's your money, too... | Mail Online

London 2012 Olympics: Whinge if you want. It's your money, too... | Mail Online

In the middle of a recession so bad there is pressure on the Chancellor to resign, an event costed at £2.3 billion has come in at £9.4 billion and nobody has ended up with his head on a spike.

The public do not need lessons in cheering up. They do not need lectures or an endless issue of articles that should carry the headline ‘35 minutes in Stratford: an in-depth report’ from correspondents passing through at the speed of a javelin train.
And if some are unmoved by the Olympic experience, if they happen to believe this oligarch’s fortune of government cash could have been better invested elsewhere, if they have the raving hump with Olympic traffic lanes or rampant commercialism, or even if they just find sport a dreadful bore, they do not need to be branded curmudgeons, misanthropes or whingers. 


They are citizens, too. They  have rights. And they are as  entitled to an opinion as any Press box cheerleader.
