London Olympics cost overruns

3rd October 2008: Projected costs of the London Olympics held in August 2012 continue to balloon. But the organizers have come up with a new wheeze to hide the latest extra cost overruns.

The incontinent Olympic project is leaking even faster.

Boris Johnson, a yellow-haired clown, was elected mayor of London in May this year.

The estimated cost of the main stadium for the 2012 Games has hit £525m, the mayor's Olympics watchdog has revealed.

The Department for Culture Media and Sport and the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) have finally admitted that proposals for the Olympics swimming pool block were known to over the budget as far back

The scandal continues. Organisers of the 2012 London Olympics have block-booked 1,925 rooms in expensive London hotels for various hangers-on at a cost of £10 million.

London mayor Ken Livingstone has admitted he “ensnared” the government into bidding for the 2012 Olympic Games.

The credit crunch will cause delays and yet more cost overruns for the beleaguered £9.3 billion London Olympic Games project.

The cost of the swimming pool block for the London Olympics, pompoussly known as the aquatics centre just keeps rocketing.

Most British people believe the 2012 Olympic Games will bring no benefit to their area, a survey finds. 73% of people thought there would be no noticeable benefit for their region.
