Beijing: A Hard Act To Follow - My Arse!

Don't you just love us Brits? We spend the entire month slamming the Chinese for their crack down on security, free speach, this, that and other. And then we turn around and say "it'll be a hard act to follow"!! Apparently, the Cheif Exec of the London 2012 committee, Paul Deighted has admitted that he was feeling "trepidation" in trying to create a London games that was as good as Bejing! Rubbish! We can do anything! That includes wasting money on crappy junkets and toys for the boys. My view is that we shouldn't be trying to downsize the London games - that is after the "news" that the 2012 Olympic organisers are planning to reduce the capacity of the Olympic village by 2012. It also appears that they're having problems raising £1bn of private finance for the games - why do we cock everything up!
