Come on people, so PARIS won the 2012 race for the Olympics and we are the losers!   Just deal with it.   So Livingstone and New Labour sold London, nay, the nation, “down the river” of slavery to the five rings (so reminiscent of slave chains).  We must be grateful that with four years to go, it is only costing us £9 billion!   So far.  Soon they will demand our first-born child!
