# I cant wait
to see the olympics kick off in a half finished stadium. The hurdles event will be jumping over piles of bricks, and tea swilling builders.

# It will be finished
because they'll pay ridiculous overtime to make sure it does.
Like they did with the Jubilee Line extension for 2000 (to go to the dome). I heard they were on 10x overtime for the last month.
It will go about another £500 million over budget, and then the Tories will have an excuse that "it's all Labour's fault" when there's no money for schools and hospitals

# There's no money for schools and hospitals
because Labour has spent it on off-balance-sheet PFI deals for...schools and hospitals

I bet the Tories will do exactly the same, although there seems to be some debate as to whether PFI was their idea, or...er...Mussolini's

# Or, just as Labour got the flack for the Dome, which the Tories had started
The coapishon may get the blame for the olympics.

They'll certainly take the credit if it goes well.

# That always pissed me off about the dome
If Labour had scrapped it, there would have outrage at the money that had already been spent!

# and of course everything we do is shit
because everyone has decided it will be from before it's even started.

The main thing wrong with this country is the negative, defeatist attitude.
