As we suspected, the 2012 Olympics will result in huge wedges of taxpayers (of Wales and Scotland) money and Sports resources being diverted towards London Team GB in spite of objections. The latest in this sorry saga is that Lord Coe is pressing ahead with a  plan for a Team GB football team:

The creation of the team has been opposed by the Football Associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who are concerned it may compromise their individual status within Fifa.

But he said the BOA, which selects teams for the Games, has decided to press ahead with a football squad despite the opposition.

When asked last night about the opposition from the Welsh and Scots, Coe replied bluntly: “F*** em!”

If you wish to express a protest at this arrogance then please sign the No to Team GB petition or  this petition and join the Facebook group.
