This olympic malarkey was a marvellous success...my friends and I ended up with £billions more in the bank (which is great because we own the banks as well) and we are not going to pay a penny in tax....not only that, but the olympics also provided a marvellous distraction from the austerity programme being rained down on you all by our government of fellow old Etonian millionaires!! We should do this every year!!!
What a laugh getting you lot to pay my mate who runs G4S £millions to provide the security for the olmypics before trousering the cash and then getting the army to do the work.....which you lot pay for again...brilliant
Don't forget we're all in this together....
Mwohhoahahahahahahaa
aaha!
