This really is an absurd discussion at this point.
I have been to other cities and I am still of the view that people who live in london are out of touch, london is multi cultural that must mean the entire country is.

I got no issue with it but I do have an issue when people go out their way to paint a fake picture. Or maybe its just that everyone involved in the cerenomy was got from the london area only.

political in the sense of way public money been spent.

But not political in having a go at any particular party.

I am always off the view a country or person or whatever is rated at how they treat their worst off. This country has people dieing from poverty, choosing to eat or heat themselves etc. and it spends a lot of money on a showcase event that lasts a few weeks. Thats my view, and no amount of agression towards me will make me change it.
