The Olympics is/are about the athletes, not the venues.

Who else can use the Dome, Wimbledon, Wembley, Horsegaurds Parade, Greenwich, Lords etc.

Our Marathon will go past most London Landmarks, our Olympic Park will mean our games are one of the greenest and most compact yet.

The designs are functional and easy to take apart for after the games.
It's all well and good building a 100,000 stadium deisgned like a dragon standing one legged on a trumpet, but after the games....what will we need it for?

The Birds Nest will now be used as China's National Stadium, we already have one in Wembley.

And taxpayers here would go ape if they found out they were paying for something when they can get it much cheaper.

Simple really.
