Yes, it will increase our community charges, Livingstone's lot will have every excuse to increase both the charge and the areas for the congestion charges, parking prices will go through the roof, and when it's all over, ALL the increased prices will remain, there'll be so much over-provision of public transport on that side of London that it will all be running around empty most of the time (yet still adding to the greenhouse nonsense), and there'll be a load of second rate housing which will immediately be grabbed by immigrants so that within five years it will become even more run down than it is right now, and thank you, Londoners will have paid for it all.
Nice of us, ain't it.

I think that it will. Barcelona, which I know well, was transformed by the '92 Games. The infrastructure in the city was hugely improved and it also gave a great boost to the people of the city and of Catalonia. London 2012 will rejuvenate an area that has been neglected since the war and continue the process of improvements to London's transport currently underway. It will also be fun!

London replaced into the 1st city to host the video games three times in a row. cyber web hosting the Olympics takes years of making plans, and not common artwork and a sturdy type of money, and that's in basic terms the bidding. it incredibly is unhappy to assert that a minimum of, for the subsequent 50 unusual years it incredibly is not any longer at risk of take place returned, it incredibly is in basic terms too high priced for the government and various persons might question a determination to coach returned while the funds ought to in all probability be placed to extra helpful use. notwithstanding if we've been placed forward for yet another bid, the probabilities of the IOC determining on a GB city to host the video games returned could be incredibly no longer likely, yet nonetheless you on no account know. i think of the reality the London 2012 replaced into possibly arguably between the terrific ever Olympic video games, might additionally placed organizers off desirous to 'cloud' final years fulfillment. As for Rio 2016, the time distinction is around 7 hours i think of. this might propose that interior the night interior the united kingdom, activities might in basic terms be beginning, and can then proceed into the night. in spite of the indisputable fact which you will in all probability locate that there are various highlights courses working by way of the day to maintain us as much as this factor. optimistically, activities might additionally be accessible on iplayer or the BBC internet site, and that i'm effective they are guaranteed to broadcast what we omit interior the night throughout day time television some hours later besides.

It should make a positive impact on some of the surrounding towns- such as Hackney, because the council are planning on giving it a refurb and smartening it up. That'll be really good for the people who live in these areas- but I'm sure it's more an aesthetic thing rather than actually tackling the issues such as violence, crime and homelessness.
