They taken a unique once in a life time occasion that the entire country has invested in and rather use it as a platform to pull the country together, to send out the message the people and the athletes come first, have instead used it for naked profiteering and that includes on the issue of security, and a platform to further divide people from different social and economic backgrounds.
So incompetent are these people that we have flame holders advertising their torches on eBay for 60k a pop, when every penny of any sold torch should go on the UK Olympic sporting legacy or to local charities. These are the little clues that at the top end the snouts are so firmly in the trough there's little scope for them to cover the unimportant things like making sure the little people are happy with it all, that every penny and every penny there to be earned goes towards moral and worthy causes and sending out the message nice and clear what the Olympics and UK are all about.
It's all about profiting off taxpayers, private profits and public debts. The greatest security weapon against terror is the eyes and ears of the general public, and to get that to the fullest extent you must have them onside, instead the twats at the top have gone the corporate route which is lets spend [taxpayers] our way to 'security', such that our mates in the private sector can walk away with 50% margins off guaranteed zero risk contracts.
On the plus side, every so called 'people's celebs' like Beckham and co have also been shown up for what they are, self interested only profiteers. Not one of them has spoken up, they've all towed the line like the little aristocrats the clearly aspire to be.
Cameron's speech yesterday was classic political speak. The Olympics are going to be 'profitable' he says. What he leaves out is profitable for me and my mates, not profitable for the general public.
I'm pretty sure if you can manage to do all of that then what you've got in store for the country once the Games are over and done with is little short of a nightmare. Enjoy the tournament, love sport I do, but the big payback comes after all the international cameras and mics have got on their planes and flown home.
