Not backing the bid?

Why not text PARIS to 82012?

(Or the name of any other city you want to be left paying for a multi-billion pound white elephant that'll make the Millennium Dome look like a bargain...)

Yes. I am annoyed that the propaganda set-up around the bid gives absolutely no scope for those who don't want London to host the Olympics to voice their opposition.

Not only do I not want the Olympics in London, but I have yet to encounter anyone who does.

Because the London bid will still get the money? I assume...

Because I like Paris. And I don't much like London.

Staff at DCMS were told that they had to put an "I'm backing the bid" line in their e-mail auto signatures. Not just those working in Sport policy, either. Most refused, I'm happy to say.
