Then here's something you'll like.
The big fat builders of London are laughing till their bellies wobble.
They smell money!
As the Ad says "Costing up to £6.5bn the Games will provide work for virtually every sector of the construction industry and its associated services."
Note that £6.5 bn.
They know that Tessa Jowell's only teasing when she says she'll just be throwing around a measly £3.3bn.
No, £6.5bn is what they've got their eyes on - for starters, anyway, before all the extras that are bound to occur when specifications get changed...
Taxpayers should remember that this figure is just for building. There's also going to be a vast security expenditure, and the actual cost of running things. And there will have to be a massive IT project, and you know what they cost...
Still, it will all give a fortnight's pleasure to some egotistical athletes.
So it has to be worth it.
Doesn't it?
