The Olympics - good or bad?
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:28 pm
With FIFA in the news over bribery and corruption allegations and the general distaste of their self-serving modus operandi, maybe it is time to look at their bigger brother. Yes, the Olympic organisers who seem bent on taking control of our country by the back door before, during and possibly after the event that ordinary people have been priced out of.
Numerous restrictions will be imposed on Londoners and others which will range from what type of Cola is allowed to be advertised in the media to road, and airspace closures. Only one type of credit card will be accepted. The Queen has been "ordered" to attend a meeting with the organisers by contract! Quite what would happen if she refused is debatable.
QUOTE: "The picture that emerges is of our capital city yielding up its public infrastructure, legal powers and identity and handing them over to an international sporting body with a taste for the high life. Taxpayers are paying £12bn and counting for the games, another £1.4bn has been raised from private sources and millions more have been donated by the IOC – so this is going to cost us dearly."

This link also reveals the actual contract signed by our government on our behalf down to the last word. Loads of terms and conditions to make it difficult to read - a lawyer's paradise. You won't have read about this in the mainstream media as it has been suppressed. No one there wants to derail this gravy-train for obvious reasons.... slurp
In fact, as the article explains, it took two years for this information to become public against the wishes of the IOC and the Mayors office. The Information Commissioner had to step in and allow publication.
I find the whole business of this leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and I would like to see the people responsible for the back door subjugation of the populace put up for trial.
What say you
