The Beijing Olympics has finally, finally finished. Thank christ for that, perhaps now we can get back to normality?
The Olympics is shit, the Beijing Olympics has been shit and the London Olympics is going to be unbelievably shit.
China shouldn’t have been given a second thought when it put in a bid for the Olympics. Being given the Olympics sent a message to oppresive, human rights abusing dictators all over the world – keep doing what you’re doing and you will be accepted.
It will be difficult to top the tickery, fakery and general naffness of the Beijing opening and closing ceremonies but London will manage to make 2012 even more shit. You just can’t have what is still nominally a socialist government handling a multi-billion pound spectacle without it being turned into an absolute crock of steaming horse shit.

Hey and the finale had Jimmy Page, how cool was that?
Wasn’t he a 1960s pop star?
something like that 😉
Completely spot on!, but be cheered by the fact that Broon and McLabour will be out by a huge landslide two years prior to the 2012 Londonistan games.
If he loses his seat will he be punted upstairs to the Lords or will he have to come back here?
