The post you are reporting:
Doesn't this ticket fiasco give you all an inkling of what is in store on this "very special day" - the torch relay. Not to rain on anyone's parade or anything but the idea of cheering people, albeit goodly citizens who have excelled in their field or in the face of extreme adversity, is well, rather an anti-climax isn't it?
I expect most people in the UK, if they were honest, would consider the Olympics, especially these ones with their zil lanes, fascistic restrictions on advertising and the clothes worn by even those attending to spectate, the hypocrisy of accepting sponsorship from companies whose products lead to obesity and alcoholism, ordinary people who wanting to celebrate by knitting olympic mementoes, special laws which allow police to break down the doors of premises of those "offenders", the abject elitism and corporate cronyism, restrictions on the amount of food and drink brought into the games by spectators, the supposed "green" credentials of the games etc. etc. etc. I could go on but I think you catch my drift.
What's not to like eh?
