Olympic fiasco

Once again Britain can't get it right. The Olympic organisation for this event has been going on for about the past seven years, yet literally days before the big event we are finding that ticket sales are not sold out as Lord Coe said they were.The peoples games as he was always saying to the media, these games are for the people of Britain, yet people who bid for tickets originally were told that they had missed out due to the great demand, yet weeks late these "sold out events"  tickets were again on sale for these events. Now we are being told that there are about 400,000 tickets for some events that haven't been sold. But the biggest catastrophy must be G4S the company that bid for the security of the games. They now admit that they may not be able to provide the security that is needed, so more police and military personnel are being drafted in to fill this short fall.. Yet we have Teresa May and Jeremy Hunt saying that, we the government, have a back up plan in case of such a thing happening. If they have a back up plan why didnt we give the security for the games to the police and military in the first place, instead out outsorcing it to a company that bid for the contract for a reported £480 million of tax payers money. It was also reported that G4S would make a profit of around £53 million.as it now turns out they could loose about £50 million. If the police/military had been allowed to run the security then the tax payer could have saved £480 million. But again one has to ask why was a company, all be it the largest security company in the world earning billions of pounds fail. Why was the contract given to G4S unless there were people in positions of authority be they on the LOCOG or in the government? Does this again go to show how utterly incompetent these people at the top are? After all this so caled organisation and training, we has some atheletes being taken from Heathrow to the Olympic village a distance of 25 miles being on the coach for four hours because the driver wasn't sure how to get there. Wouldn't you have thought that the coach company would have had practice runs and employed drivers who knew the area? Again this just goes to show how Britain is sliding down the road of incompetence. The likes of May, Hunt, and Coe should all resign on the grounds of complete incompetence. They are the people especially Coe who are always saying that these games will show Britain at its best. They may believe this bullshit, and the only people they are fooling are themselves. The people of Britain are a lot smarter than than that.  You have only to open a newspaper today to see how incompetent these people leading our society are, the so called the great and the good, who pay themselves large salariesand at the end of the day also expect honours. I wouldn't trust  these people in authority to run a church fetes  tombola.
