LORD COE (OBE) - OLYMPIC FAILURE?
I see that little Tory turd Seb Coe is bleating on about the Olympics again. Poor sod, just the other week he was caught with his trousers down again and now his precious Olympic fantasy looks stuck on the rocks of hopeless disinterest.
Those of you who have been paying attention will remember Mike Lee, the bids communications director saying: "The national figures would be much higher if you took out Scotland. The levels of support in Scotland are not great."
The whole thing got Brian Wilson foaming at the mouth earlier this month. “This is a mean-minded campaign. It’s sad that there is a minority of people in Scotland who think it is smart to promote negativity of anything related to England,” said Brian Wilson, the former Minister for Nuclear Power.
But Wilson was ignoring the reality that Scottish scepticism about the project (estimated cost £3.6 billion) was stoked, not by mean-mindedness but by the reality exposed by North Tayside MP Pete Wishart who pointed out that almost £42 million of lottery money earmarked for Scotland could end up helping to finance the games.
Now it looks like Lord Coe OBE (nicknamed in the English press as Lord of the Rings - truly) may have made a lot of pretty pictures but no Olympics. And who’s fault is it? Yes you and me, ungrateful wretches that we are.
