I don't think they lost money on the tickets ,the problem with the tickets was the allocation ,they where still paid for and if retailers can't capitalise on an event as big as the Olympics then that is there problem
I suspect you are the idiot child in the family...but..let's go to basics

Money was spent on olympics...it wasn't good faries who magically made it happen, nor was it donated by wealthy individuals.

Sorry to shatter your illusion.

And, that makes it relevant, if it wasn't the most appropriate way to spend the money.

As to the contracts, are you benefiting from those contracts. Or is it the same tories who benefited from the original spend, now benefiting from these contracts.

As to retailers benefiting from the Olympics? You mean the businesses who were banned from displaying anything about the olympics because it was against the olympics rules. The multi-corporation did well, but they pay a good amount of back handers to the olympic committee members.

oh, and you must not know how it works.

The game, is to point to everything that happened that could be construed as being because of the olympics, and count that as a benefit. Even if it likely would have happened.

Politics...go figure
