Some of my previous comments on this blog may have seemed a bit excessive and ranty.
I apologise.
Let's put the Olympics in proportion.
Yesterday's estimate of £8billion for the cost of the Games is not so much when you put it in context.
The Iraq War has so far cost Britain's taxpayers 7 billion.
I'm pondering hard - which is better value -7 billion for causing untold death and distress, destabilising the Middle East and inspiring terrorism in Britain.
Or 8 billion for a fortnight's running, jumping and synchronised swimming.
It's a bit hard to decide.
