Does anyone else think london hosting the olympic games is a total waste of money?

How can the government justify spending millions of pounds on a sporting event when there are still people in Britain living in poverty, and even starving to death!

Not only that but the Government or whoever bid for the games obviously lied about how they were going to handle the contract. this is demonstrated by the fact that the bill for the stadiums and the games has already doubled! this with 4years to go before they even start.

and we all know its not like we're gonna win anything anyway!
