really?
I'd like to see the numbers if that was actually the case. I thought there'd been a slight increase in some areas but some stuff was actually under-budget?

I'm 99% sure of it.
www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200708/cmselect/cmpubacc/85/85.pdf - £3.4b from the public

I'm pretty sure we're to £9b from the public sector now.

£9.3b is the figure I used in my 'sums'

273% over budget.

Ah, right, that's from the inital estimate prior to being awarded, though.
It's not an increase in budget since the project started.

It's still a fair leap, I grant you, but it's not a "project going overbudget" thing.

But it was that estimate that we used in order to say 'yes' or 'no' to the whole thing.

in this sense CQ is spot on
"we" didn't say yes or no to anything. Anyway, the budget is meaningless to you or I, it's just a number.

Actually, 'we' in this case is quite right.
'we' the people voted in for 'our' goverment who agreed to the terms of taking on the olympics. They are our representives chosen by us. In the same we 'we' went into Iraq.

It's not my fault that we didn't vote in a tory goverment fast enough and therefore gave Tony Blair and his lot an extra 4 years of fucking up this country.

If you didn't want us to have a tory goverment then maybe you should have tried harder at campagning ?
Typical lefty, never wanted to put the work in.
