Hi Jaycey,
Neither.
Unfortunately I'm in bed a lot, and read a few USA front pages, they seem to have a lot of UK tidbits. It's easy to cut and paste their headlines for UK sources! I've been a victim of Govt misinformation and buried policies before. It contributed to my losing my house.
It erks me that both major parties use the vanity of the shrinking middle class to grab our hard won democracy. It is now impossible for anyone to know what any politician stands for, other than greed. A minority party has successfully privatised almost everything bar the risk, and isolated themselves from that risk themselves. I have an Egyptian mate - I fear (as do the Police) a lot of riots, until the middleclass realise the 1% aren't on their side.
Word in the media is that the empty seats are that the fatcats are afraid to be seen, after the Barclays crooks were photographed drinking Bolly at Lords during the LIBOR fuss. It looks like we could have financed the games from ticket sales - but no "kick-back" then.
Living here, I love and admire what so many competitors do, and many judges etc., just a crime that the organisers dont respect the Olympic ideal, but take advantage of those that do.
I was a "monkey in the zoo" in China in 1998. We got minimal sponsorship to compete there, as a "legitimate" way for politicians and CEOs to justify their lavish hospitality when doing business. Our sports money and tax used to subsidize private gain. Never thought I'd see it so blatantly done here.
love'n'joy
Lloyd
