We the people of the UK, most of whom did not want the over rated games in the first place. London is too far from most to be of interest. The fact that they will raid the Lottery, as usual, which will mean the good causes that the Lottery was set up to help will be out of luck for the foreseeable future. I would suggest that all stop playing the lottery in protest and help the local causes directly. that would send the appropriate message to the right place.

The money is reportedly coming from three sources, the government, the Major of London and the Lottery which means it is the British tax payers either through direct or indirect taxes.

The British are responsible for the cost but they also get to keep ticket proceeds. The British have come up with several ways to pay as previously mention here with taxes, private financing, and the lottery among others.

5 silvers and maybe 7 bronze, but you will have the feelgood fracture of knowing that your hard earned money has regenerated an inercity slum in london.while you will still have to deal with your own slums.

The national lottery has had some taken from it's funds by the government, sponsors like Lloyd's TSB who I understand are sponsoring it for 80,000,000. ( perhaps their costumers would appreciate that money being used to reduce banking charges, as it is their money). And use through our taxes.
