Welcome, and before we begin – please accept our apologies. Your four-hour nightmare wait at passport control should not be taken as a symptom of Britain's contempt for foreigners. It is merely a symptom of a woeful lack of spending on a key aspect of travel infrastructure in the run-up to a hugely important event. In other words, it's the government that hates you. Don't worry, they hate us too.

I was tempted to put him right, but it was too funny.
To clarify: We like stuff like the NHS and the BBC which are paid for with public money, but like other countries we never like the current government and how they spend our £.
As somebody who lives in London in the UK I can say that like most people who have had to pay a extra tax to pay for this without no extra chance to get to see it, that I will be glad when it's all over. I think the Olympics has lost the spirit of which it was started and that if the sponsors and finances were held to the same standard that those competing have to maintain of no drugs, fairness etc then things would be alot more inline with the spirit of the event.
Still TSA or G4S (UK's lamentable try at haliburton or however there called); Who would you pick, so fair enough.
