F@ck the bid

---+++Donut's Olympic Special Daguerreotype+++---


Love sport.
Love the Olympics.
Just don't want them here.
Still don't want them here, won bid or whatever.

Anyway, I went along to Trafalgar Square to watch the bid result. It was very difficult to see anything, butI caught "the moment".


The scene in Trafalgar Square around 12:15.


Rogge about to make the announcement.


Cameraphones ready.


The cheer goes up.








Loads of confetti fills the air.


Time to get back to the office.

Hats off to the bid team. But, I'm still to be convinced that this is good for Britain, good for London or, most importantly, good for the London taxpayer.
