After the furore about the escalating cost of the Games and the cost to Londoners personally, don't you think that the £400,000 they spent on the logo was money well spent? I doubt anyone in the world could have come up with a better design.
The advantage to London of hosting the Games is phenomenal - our superb public transport system could really do with an injection of millions of extra people on it in the middle of the summer and our well-maintained roads are so empty a few thousand extra coaches and buses won't be noticed.
OF COURSE, ALL OF THIS IS SARCASM. The logo is a pathetic extension of the self-indulgent egotism of Lord Coe and the rest of the Olympic Committee who, it appears, are on a 5-year junket at our expense.
We have enough drug-takers in London without hosting the drug-fest that the Olympics has now become. It's bad enough that the Tour de France is coming here.
Is there no one in any position of authority to shout "Stop, this has gone too far"?
