London 2012 starts to feel the pinch 1:18pm on 02 Oct 2008 Why don't we just consider postponing the 2012 Olympics until 2016? Against the current economic and financial pressures which will take at least the next 3 or 4 years to stabilise, spending £9-12bn on a 'non-essential showcase event' such as this will seem increasingly imprudent. Homes, welfare and maintaining long term employment should be UK plc's priority. Many countries may be feeling relieved they don't have this financial burden looming. So let's do a sensible review of the costs/benefits - otherwise the Olympics may end up being seen in a similar light to the Eurovision Song Contest - each country hoping they won't end up hosting it when the music stops (no pun intended) because of the cost and embarrassment.
What do you think about Monkey? 1:26pm on 24 Jul 2008 Once again we have the BBC's self-styled creatives rather carried away with their ideas of clever presentation and importance to the general viewing public - in this case misguided and rather insulting and tasteless graphics, which we'll now have to endure/skip round/make tea when appearing repeatedly on TV. Please try and concentrate on doing the professional job of delivery of the actual content, which most people actually want to see (ie the Olympics itself) and pay for.
