Review:

Yes. Well it's a sports event and in sport, in the main, might is right, so there's a horrible
consistency about the Olympics being held in countries with the same ethos. Not to justify any of
it. I just find the whole thing horrible wherever it is. On the one hand, people think China
shouldn't be allowed it. On the other, loads of the same people don't want it in their own country,
e.g. here, and give concrete reasons why it's a shit idea, like the fact that most Olympicses lose
money. Is it somehow good for China to stage it and bad for us?
