    I watched the last few minutes of BO's speech on Sky News this morning.

    He talks a good game but what a slavering ****. Going on about how we need to bring the world and their differences together and how the Olympics makes relations between nations stronger etc etc.

    I just thought give it a ****ing rest for a minute. I know that politics play a big part in getting games etc but STFU for 5 minutes.

    Probably the least safe city out of the 4 candidates.

    Having said that though, everyone predicted Beijing to be a complete failure.

    I see some of the Yanqui commentators already asking if the IOC are anti-American (where's Senator Joe McCarthy when you need him?).

    Why have I got the nasty feeling that this might not be altogether good news for the city's street kids and poor folks?

    The street kids will enjoy it. Transport laid on, a few weeks in the country in fact they'll enjoy it that much they wont come back when it's all over.
