The budget for the 2012 London Olympics has risen to £9.35bn, Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell has told MPs.
Not long after it was decided that London should be awarded the Olympics for 2012, it was reported that an error had been made during the judging process, which went in London's favour. It did not void the decision. London was still to stage the 2012 Olympic games despite Britain’s recent bad reputation for developing grand structures and events on time and on budget not to London’s poor transport system and other problems. Initial costs estimates had put the price of the games at a mere £3 billion pounds, and public support for London to host the games at the time was not too vast. Suddenly the games will probably cost around £10 billion and still rising. Total costs may eventually reach £20 billion or higher; a sum that seems incredibly expensive for a couple of weeks of athletics, which will no doubt attract an interest from would be suicide bombers to develop terrorism plots for such a grand event. Too often now, have planes been targeted. The government would come under too much scrutiny if they let slip another terrorist to hijack a plane as could have happened in the Trans-Atlantic bomb plot that was, fortunately, thwarted. Yet more terrorist plots are being made to carry out yet more dramatic catastrophes. Though, perhaps that’s why London’s victory in hosting the Olympic games in 2012 was… rigged?
