Quell Surprise!

It should come as no surprise to learn that the costs for the out of control London 2012 Olympics (the budget currently stands at £12BN, including £2BN running costs) have a 20% chance of rising.

Only 20%?

That is the warning given by a government report which has been leaked to the BBC.

However, please do not be alarmed. Our government has issued an assurance that ministers are confident the budget is "robust".

HAH!

They would say that, wouldn't they?

Never allow a politician to run a long term prestige project. They have neither the skill, nor the attention span, to do an effective or reliable job.
