When London first applied to host the Olympics I raised the funding questions and was told to wind my neck in. When i told both the major services charities that it would inevitably inflict upon them I was again told to shut up. Now let everyone tell me where the extra billions are to come from if it is not charity fundings?
Olympics budget rises to £9.3bn
Ms Jowell was accused of raiding the lottery good causes to pay for the overspend, but she said the Lottery would benefit from profit sharing based on rises in land values in the Olympic park area.

Using scottish,welsh and Northern Ireland taxes to fund an amusement for Japanese tourists licking ice creams and mingling with Osama's headbangers is a disgraceful diversion of public funds away from areas of much needed investment like rundown towns outside of London,Blackpool for instance-how rundown can you get?
Backslappers beware.
