superkins: I really don’t get this, what’s the alternative? We don’t live in a fucking idealistic dream world. I think the point is that it’s complete bullshit to need this much of an artillery just to hold a sporting event.  For all the Olympics was meant to be all about rejuvenating East London and bringing pride to the nation, it’s just turned into this massive corporate circle-jerk and it sucks.  I mean, locals having to have missiles on their roofs and not getting a say in it? I’m just glad I don’t live there and that I can put my hands over my ears/eyes during the whole thing and pretend it’s not happening.
