London Olympics wastrels blame credit crunch for their problems. History repeats itself: Bush and Giuliani used 9/11 to hide THEIR incompetence
(Former ‘Mamma Mia’ Mayor Giuliani)
You know how, in economic hard times, there are always people making millions of dollars from the misery of others. For every few thousand common folks losing their homes and their jobs, there will always be one market hyena gorging himself.
You could call it a form of Darwinism, I suppose – or a case of divine distribution, if your idea of a God is that of a particularly cruel and nasty One.
Anyway, wherever there is a crisis, wherever large numbers of people suffer, you will have profiteers. That’s just one of those basic facts of life.
So, it shouldn’t surprise us at all that the incompetent wastrels, responsible for London’s indecent 2012 Olympics extravaganza – yes, the crowd who gave us the Bart and Lisa fellatio logo – are now trying to blame everything on the credit crunch.
Ah well, we have all seen how the careers of Bush and Giuliani got an enormous boost from the 9/11 attacks, so I suppose you can hardly blame those Olympic champions of waste for hoping that they, like George and Rudy, can use the credit crunch to distract the punters from their own dreadful record in office:
Taxpayers may have to fund the full cost of the £1billion Olympic village as the credit crunch scares off private investors for the 2012 Games, Olympic chiefs have admitted. John Armitt, chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority also conceded that the £400 million broadcasting centre will have to be scaled down and more temporary sports venues moved out of the5 Olympic Park to stay within the £9.3 billion budget. “The credit crunch is hitting the Olympics hard, but we remain resilient,” Mr Armitt bluntly told the London Assembly, as he warned that he would have to ask the Government for more money from contingency funds to ensure venues are delivered on time.
