London bid for the Olympics
Pete Wishart MP is cautiously questioning the benefit to Scotland of the London Olympics bid.
Holding the Olympics is basically a development project. New facilities are built and new infrastructure is created that are intended to be useful after the games are over.
Do we want this kind of project in the most developed, congested, over-stretched, over-populated corner of our over-centralized state?
I would be happy to see it in the north of England - that might indirectly benefit Scotland, if only by promoting a more balanced British economy - but not in London!
