| I'll give you some ideas why it's an absolute fucking disgrace: * Rapier missile launchers installed on residential flats. * Dispersal Zone around Olympics which has kerfew, 42,000 strong mostly private police force and all legal rights suspended for residents and visitors. * Armed drones patrolling the air around the site. * Armed troops on site and the surrounding area. * They built on Leyton Marshes which is common land. * Warships have been stationed on the Thames. * Transport disruption due to Olympic traffic lanes added and service alterations over the entire transport network (resulting in a 3 mile walk to take my disabled daughter to her physiotherapist - fun eh?) * The fact that we have bankrupt hospital trusts which could have been bailed out several times over for that amount of money. * The fact that NHS maternity and surgical services are turning people away and warning of serious disruption during the event. * The fact that the Olympic village was promised for social housing. Out of 11,000 residences, 675 are going to it. * There are branding police and official products which must be purchsed on site. You can't even take a flask of water with you incase they can't make money out of you. * The fact that the political elite asked for the event despite polls taken at the time suggesting that the general opinion is that we didn't want it. * The fact that "we're going to benefit from it", but there are no tangible benefits which are provable and every Olympic city has gone down the pan after the Olympics. Ultimately, everything we expect and pay huge amounts for in tax is suspended for our political and corporate overlords. It's a militarisation exercise.
