Thank god it’s over
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.

I’m glad it’s over too – not least because of the rampant Scots/Welsh/British nonsense spouted by the media – and Gordon Brown using the circus for his own ends.

August 25th, 2008 at 6:47 pmCompletely 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.
