London will host the Olympic Games in 2012. As a tax payer I am expected to foot the bill for this two week commercial sporting event. Londoners will have to pay even more through additional charges levied on them through their council tax.The cost to the public through taxation is presently estimated at £9.5 billion. Reliable reports from people close to the bidding and financing process have openly admitted that the real figure will be much higher than this, possibly as high as £20 b ...

Dangling CarrotsDangling a carrot in front of me then pulling it away when I'm about to take a bite is never going to impress me.
