No, I just don't want to damage the magic by hosting a farce like the
Olympics in Paris. Let some other city make that mistake.


Fair enough.


I don't think it will be a mistake for London to host them in 2012. It
will be expensive for sure, but it's a catalyst for regeneration of an
area which really needs it. A lot of UK people disagree with that (i.e.
the expense), but there you go.
