The cost of the Olympics.

I've just seen a news item on the TV about the cost to the country to stage the Olympics.
The cost seemes to have spiralled from an estimated £2.5bn to a staggering £9.3bn.
How the hell can the highly paid consultants and construction companies get it so wrong?
Sadly, this seems to become an all too familiar story!
The cost of The Euro Tunnel, The Millenium Dome, Wembley Stadium, the M25. You name it, the list is endless. Not only do these projects go massively over budget, but are invariably late too!
Surely someone must be held accountable, after all, it is our hard earned money we are talking about!
The Government are only too ready to throw countless billions away on the white elephants, but the thought of giving our pensioners an extra £5 per week brings them out in a rash!

Absolutely disgusting!
Absolutely disgraceful!
Absolutely despicable!
Absolutely predictable!

For god sake. When is someone of influence going to stand up and say "enough is enough" and stop this abuse of the working man, and the public purse!

That someone, if you haven't realised it yet, is me and you!
We have our vote, and every polititian, whether in power or in opposition, should be made fully aware, that if they don't start looking after us at last, we will find someone who will!

That was the mood of the German people in the early 30's, and that's why Hitler and the Nazis came to power, because he (unlike Tony and Gordon) put his people 1st!
Quite the reverse of what's happening here today!
All this Government seem to do is pander to every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but treats the likes of you and me with contempt we deserve, because we are thick enough to let them get away with it!

But don't think that it couldn't happen here, because the Government are quite happily sowing the seeds of discontent (and they don't give a shit that they are!) because, if nothing else, they have ensured that they are earning a very nice salary for doing nothing, and can look forward to a very comfortable pension when they retire! The Worm is definitely ready to turn, and hopefully will!

I really do despair................................
