Is this the reason why Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London is "OK," with the Olympic logo?

Question

Ken Livingstone today made stupid supposedly funny comments about the Olympic logo. Then concluded with saying he thought it was "OK," In view of his anti-semetic past, do you think he thinks it's ok because it resembles a swastika?

Addition:- Oops sorry, just assumed everyone either read or watched the news, so just assumed everyone knew about his recent anti-semetic past. Early 2006 Ken Livingstone was suspended from acting as Lord Mayor of London as a punishment for his anti-semetic comments, rememeber?

Answer 1

The only thing I like about K Livingstone esq. is his ability to get up T Blairs nose, come to think of it the logo could resemble something that might be found UP T Blairs nose and perhaps thats the reason he thinks its ok. lol Swastika has nothing to do with it after all. Its a big BOGEY

Answer 2

This logo says nothing about London or the rest of the UK for that matter. The designer(s) and the people that chose it must see something in it that I can't. Maybe I'm dim or something but it doesn't represent the vibrancy of London, the history, the culture, nothing whatsoever. What a shame that half a million quid has been wasted on nothing more than a squiggle. Why wasn't a competition held for school kids to design it. Would have been cheaper and a better job too.We could have had an open competition to design a logo and then spend the money on an established design firm to neaten up the winning design if needed and hey presto, something designed by the British and chosen by the British public.

Answer 3

Most Londoners know Red Ken will say and do anything to promote himself. Like all socialists his favourite pastime is spending taxpayers cash on a lot of useless self promoting stunts.

Answer 4

Fractured, split, splintered, disunited... what a fantastic visual metaphor for the state of Britain in the esrly 21st Century!

Couldn't be bettered, Ken.

So how much of our money did you pay some grasping greedy consultant for a few scrunched-up bits of Post-It note, then?

Answer 5

He was only suspended during the investigation which later cleared him completely. Now, since he was cleared in a court of law, you are engaged in a malicious form of libel here. And it seems that only you can see a swastika where it does not exist.

Answer 6

No, it's because he probably authorised the 'competition' and doesn't want to admit, as the mayor of the city that's organising the Olympics, that the winning entry is shite. And I did think his comments were funny, but then again I'm no Londoner, so I don't have to put up with his crap.

Answer 7

AH, good old red Ken, He does anything in his power to promote himself, even on here! Why is this corrupt man even still in politics? He hates this country and stupid London idiots votes him as mayor!

Answer 8

Its disgusting and if the Government was spending their own money they'd never waste it like they do ours, wow we had a great 2012 logo with the circles that said it all, If they was running their own business they would never waste such money, its terrible, no in actual fact its disgusting to pay out for something we never needed changing, I thought the olympics was about the people of britain, well the people of Britain would have spent that money better, & yes it has annoyed me. Its as bad as when the Royal Mail was changed to Consignia another stupid idea that had to be reversed.

Answer 9

I personally think the logo looks like a graffiti splat. And who said his anti-semetism is in the past?

Answer 10

How does it resemble a swastika? I think you've been sitting in the sun too long.
