They said it was legacy - a totally meaning concept in the minds of the average barbarian Briton who's quest for empire and profit is what really drives us. The Olympic park is there for the picking and I know perfectly well who the pickers are - yes, that same mob who built London in the first place, the construction industry. When all the brownfield sites have been built upon and the Green Belt lobby have finally won their argument - no build here thing. Then, where else do we turn to build? I know, the Olympic park that wasteland of rotting legacy buildings.

You ask any Londoner, did you ever want the Olympics? Answer, a resounding NO. Let the Frogs have the damn thing.

But no - we got slapped with it and it destroyed the economy of London for weeks on end - sluggish transportation the babble of fiddle-stick language and so forth.

Bah humbug.

How dare you question our beloved leaders, when they strive day after day to provide you with dreams , illusions.... and mirages. Surely you (like me) are benefiting from the 'legacy'? You must have been have been 'pounding the streets' of your newly enriched town/village/hovel... in your new 'trainers'?

My pride in being born British, is only matched by my joy at being born with 10 toes, 1 stomach and two very attractive ears. (see attached).

The 'Olympic Park' is now a vast expanse of what the property market calls 'promising', 'historic'... and 'desirably under developed'. In plain language... that's empty, ghostly... and a bit disturbing.

As has been observed by some Brazilian people recently... It was a party we all paid for... but few of us were invited to attend.

Legacy they chirped. We heard the buzzword "Legacy" a LOT but where is it now? Greece was bankrupted by the Athens Games and the Olympic Park is like a Ghost Town now

They are building Yuppie housing on it to sell to wealthy Chinese and Russians, using the Government "Help to Bye bye" scheme...

Which country?

We never hear a word about the olympic park and venues now and i suppose it suits the government to keep it quiet.

We need to know what a waste of money this was apart from the east end of London getting 60 years of redevelopment in 6 years.

While our village is been destroyed by over development the Londerners have the Olympis park.

our roads are a disgrace while the queen has just launched a mew Aircraft carrier that will have no planes for six years and this money should go on the roads
