Interesting to see Boris unveiling the Olympic countdown on our TV screens
tonight, but far from unveiling a countdown to the London Olympics themselves,
Johnson was actually unveiling a countdown to the opening of the Olympic £1.5
Billion retail shopping centre. Its good to see the UK getting its priorities
right when it comes to spending huge somes of money. Forget the homeless,
forget the housing recession, lets use the Olympics as an excuse to build a
£1.5 Billion shopping complex to leave Lakeside, Bluewater and all the rest in
the shade. It also looks like local retail businesses have been sold a pup yet
again with this big retail monstrousity about to lap up any chance of the local
trader making an honest buck during the Olympics. No doubt the Great Leader
will be along for a ribbon cutting and photo op once the thing is built and a
repeat of the old employment lie 'local jobs for local people'
Watch this space.
