Rubbing our own noses in it.

Not content with rubbing the Greek’s noses in it with the Olympic Torch lighting ceremony, the Brits then showed off with the extravagant flight from Athens with Princess Anne, Becksy and Coey on flight BA2012 in a plane made of solid gold. They have now brought the flame over here to rub the whole nation’s nose in it. Apart from a couple of minor fringe sports such as sailing, the Games take place in London. All the tourists will stay in London; all the money will be spent and earned in London, London will be the talk of the town; the world’s eyes will be on London – so we take the Olympic torch around the country – and particularly the poor parts – and show off just like Loadsamoney. Boris, all so on the plane, reminded those sceptics like myself of the employment benefits of the games as the extravaganza unfolded: the 12,000 jobs created for the locals in Newham - cleaning, security and catering.
