THOSE WHO WATCH POLITICAL PARTY CONFERENCES ON TV MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT AT THE LABOUR PARTY CONFERENCE (2008) TESSA JOWELL CONFIRMED WHAT THE EX MAYOR OF LONDON HAD SAID SOME WEEKS BEFORE -THAT CASH GIVEN TO THE LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES BY THE NATIONAL LOTTERY WOULD BE REFUNDED IN FULL TO THE NATIONAL LOTTERY FROM THE ENORMOUS PROFIT THAT WILL BE MADE WHEN THE OLYMPIC SITE IS SOLD TO DEVELOPERS. CAN ANYONE REMEMBER BEING TOLD THAT WHEN THE MAYOR, TESSA JOWELL, THE GOVERNMENT AND OUR LONDON MP'S WERE STITCHING UP THE DEAL TO FORCE LONDONERS, AND ONLY LONDONERS, TO PAY AN EXTRA OLYMPIC TAX FOR 10/12 YEARS - AND REFUSING TO LIMIT THE LOSSES THAT LONDONERS WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DUBIOUS PRIVILEDGE OF HOSTING THE 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES.  

ALL WE WERE TOLD WAS THAT IT WAS A "GOOD DEAL" FOR LONDONERS, WITH THE NATIONAL LOTTERY AND PRIVATE DEVELOPERS PAYING FAR MORE THAT LONDONERS - REMEMBER ?  NOW WE LEARN THAT THE NATIONAL LOTTERY WILL BE REFUNDED ALL OF ITS CASH FROM THE SALE OF THE OLYMPIC SITE - SO WHY NOT LONDONERS ?       IS THIS STILL A "GOOD DEAL" FOR LONDONERS WHEN ALL OF THE UK WILL BENEFIT FROM THE 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES   (TESSA-SEB AND KEN SAID SO) 

MANY OTHER CITIES WILL HOST OLYMPIC EVENTS BUT NONE OF THEIR CITIZENS WILL PAY ANY  EXTRA OLYMPIC TAX OR SHARE THE LOSSES. 

OTHER MAJOR CITIES IN THE UK WILL BE GIVEN OLYMPIC EQUIPMENT AND DISMANTLED OLYMPIC INDOOR FACILITIES FREE OF CHARGE.

THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE - LONDON ORGANISING COMMITTEE AND NON RESIDENT COMPETITORS AND THEIR SUPPORT STAFF ARE EXCUSED PAYING ANY TAX ON THEIR OLYMPIC EARNINGS.

THE NATIONAL LOTTERY WILL BE REFUNDED ALL OF ITS CASH FROM THE SALE OF THE LONDON OLYMPIC SITE TO PROPERTY DEVELOPERS - BUT NOT LONDONERS.

AND IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED THAT THE "SEATING AND STRUCTURE" OF LONDON'S £496 MILLION OLYMPIC STADIUM WILL BE DISMANTLED (at an additional cost of another £400/£500 million) AND GIVEN TO GLASGOW FOR THEIR COMMONWEALTH GAMES IN 2014.  - FOR FREE - PAID FOR WITH OUR TAXES -  (why not give these hardly used seats to youth clubs - pensioners clubs  and old  folks homes throughout  London  ? )    

        NON LONDON  MP's MADE SURE THAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS

        WOULD  NOT BE LUMBERED WITH A 10/12 YEAR OLYMPIC TAX.  - 

      UNLIKE THE LONDON LABOUR MP's, WHO NOT ONLY SUPPORTED

THE EXTRA TAX ON LONDONERS, BUT   ALSO VOTED AGAINST LIMITING

                                                      OUR LOSSES

DON'T LET THEM TAKE THE MICKY OUT OF LONDONERS - VOTE THEM

                                           OUT - AND KEEP THEM OUT
