Tonight Jeremy Vine brings together an audience of Londoners to question the 2012 boss, Lord Coe and Mayor Boris Johnson. Will the capital put on an event to make Londoners proud? Was the allocation of tickets fair? Are local people benefiting from the Games? Will the city grind to halt when the Olympics hits town?
