More Olympic waste..

Why did anyone think this whole “run” was a good idea?

Kate Hoey MP makes sense of the whole thing. She is one of the most sensible and reasonable politicians in the UK. Comparable to Joe Lieberman in the US methinks.

More info on the Chinese thugs accompanying the Torch.

Charles Moore has a good piece on the Olympic furore linking it to the London version in 4 years.
