Thread Name: olympics - they should've listened to us
Subject: RE: olympics - they should've listened to us
The opening event in bound to be so stage-managed to present to the world media how wonderfully organised the whole event is:

What is the betting that the opening speeches will not ioncluide an admission that transport workers had to be bribed otherwise getting to the event would be difficult - impossible?

What is the betting that the opening speeches will not include how the government has invoked anti-terrorism legislation in case someone publicly points out the incompetence of the organisers in or near the venues?

What is the betting the the opening speeches will not proudly announce how a month before the olympics the bus service providers brought London to its knees, and may do so twice more because TFL failed to come up with a satisfactory bribe?

What is the betting that the opening speeches will not proudly announce how the government is metaphorically defecating on care workers while giving inflation busting pay rises to transport workers because they have the power to embarrass the organisers?
