SO WE NOW KNOW THAT RIGHT AFTER THE 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES CLOSE SOME OF THE OLYMPIC FACILITIES IN THE OLYMPIC PARK (London) WILL BE DISMANTLED AND GIVEN AWAY TO OTHER UK CITIES, AND THAT LONDONERS WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY THE EXTRA OLYMPIC TAX FOR MANY YEARS AFTERWARDS.     

TRY AS I MAY I DON'T REMEMBER THIS LITTLE GEM BEING PUBLICISED WHEN LONDONERS WERE BEING TOLD BY THE EX MAYOR OF LONDON, KEN LIVINGSTONE, OF ALL THE WONDERFUL BENEFITS THAT WOULD FLOW OUR WAY FROM THE OLYMPIC GAMES, DO YOU ? GLASGOW - EDINBURGH - CARDIFF - MANCHESTER - BIRMINGHAM - SHEFFIELD - LIVERPOOL - GATESHEAD, AND MANY OTHER UK CITIES ARE, UNDERSTANDABLY, PUSHING FOR THEIR SHARE OF THE OLYMPIC SPOILS, EVEN THOUGH NONE OF THEIR CITIZENS HAVE EVEN BEEN ASKED TO PAY AN OLYMPIC TAX.          

IN GLASGOW" THE HERALD " STATED THAT " SCOTLAND CAN EXPECT A HUGE TOURIST BOOM " WHILST THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF EVENTS IS REPORTED AS ESTIMATING THAT THE BENEFITS TO SCOTLAND WILL RUN INTO " HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF POUNDS " - BUT NO OLYMPIC TAX FOR THEM !!!!!! 

IN GWENT (WALES) ONE NEWSPAPER COMMENTED THAT "GWENT CAN EXPECT EXCELLENT KNOCK-ON EFFECTS FROM LONDON'S SELECTION TO HOST THE 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES " -   BUT, NO OLYMPIC TAX FOR  THEM. !!!!!     THE BELFAST TELEGRAPH STATED " THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN 2012 WILL TRIGGER A HUGE SPORTING BONANZA FOR NORTHERN IRELAND"    AND GUESS WHAT -  "NO OLYMPIC TAX FOR THEM EITHER - ONLY LONDONERS !   

                                 OLYMPIC BENEFITS FOR ALL THE UK  

                            BUT ONLY LONDONERS WILL HAVE TO PAY

   THANKS TO TESSA JOWELL - KEN LIVINGSTONE  AND THE LONDON  

                                    LABOUR MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT

                WE  LONDONERS  DESERVED  BETTER  REPRESENTATION
