Dearest Lucy, have you ever tried to talk sense to a politician? They do not care about the normal people who live there, they care about money, the $$$$$$ £££££££ says it all to them! Why should they worry about people that cannot get anywhere when the business they are on the Board of Directors of, are making a fortune. After the MP's expenses scandal, they claim that they cannot live on £68,000 a year with two houses paid for and a secretary, research assistants, free lunches and dinners, free mail, computers, a car, plus cheap drinks!
The Olympics has been a God send for them to make money, and lots of it at the expense of the public. It does not show you on the TV that outside the Olympic stadium, the ghettos that exist in East London. High unemployment and nearly every child living in poverty or malnutrition! No of course they don't show that, they would not dare!
Regards.
Neil.
