How ironic that in the build up to the
Olympic Games, terrorist paranoia and a culture/climate of fear has
seen guns on the roofs of East London tower blocks,taking aim to shoot down terrorists from the sky, but with less
than two weeks to go before they start, there isn't enough security
on the ground. Between them, G4S and the government have fucked up,
and now at the last minute, extra troops and police are being drafted
in. I mean, if any terrorist attack is gonna happen, I've always
thought it's gonna be on the streets. I wonder just how safe and
secure the athletes and those going to watch the games are gonna feel
knowing that security hasn't gone to plan, especially as there's not
a lot of time to re-organise things.
While I'm on the subject of the
Olympics, take a visit here and sign up to the petition demanding that
those companies who stand to profit from the games pay the right tax,
don't think G4S are gonna be one of those making a profit I heard
they stand to lose £50 million over the whole fiasco. What a fucking shame! here's hoping they don't get any future contracts, like the one for private companies to take over running parts of the police force for example.

I'm hoping that 38 degrees is just the start of a groundswell of support against these greedy corporations. There's more of us than there are of them, it's about time we all used the net to get organised and hit them where it hurts the most (obviously appealing to their better natures hasn't worked because they don't have one). Their profits. Perhaps this could be the "Big Society" that Lord Snooty keeps banging on about, though I imagine it's not exactly what he had in mind.
