1. Lords cricket ground is one of the venues where staff have been affected.
2. A cousin of mine was given exactly that proposition.
This will not qualify as evidence because there is no published data that I know of, on the other hand they are in my personal experience. As with most things, those that liked the Olympics will think it is not true those that don't like it will be inclined to take my word for it. Who is going to investigate? Nobody that likes the british Olympic propaganda. It's like the story of how britain got the thing in the first place. We beat the French, it was not at all that the French decided to pull out was it?
I am not that interested in most sports, but that is not what I am against, and I think people who complain about a little disruption so what. But the the Olympics is just another church, who owns it and who benefits and who pays, is the first question to ask, however pretty it might look.
