The 2012 Olympics are turning out to be less about sporting excellence and heroic endeavour and more to do with political correctness in a post-Blairite Britain.
The unveiling of today’s logo, reputed to have cost taxpayers a staggering £400,000 reinforces that view, and shows once again how those living in the ivory-towers are out of touch with the British public and how irrelevant these grandiose schemes are to everyday Britons who would prefer the billions that are due to be spent on this East London white elephant, to be diverted to basic functioning public services.
The logo has been described by its legion of critics as embarrassing and patronising and resembling a “broken window”, “hip-hip graffiti” or even a slightly “distorted swastika”, the latter hardly appropriate for the Labour’s diverse and inclusive showpiece!
Supposedly designed for the Internet age it has been largely rejected by people of all ages. Over on a BBC poll, just over 84% of the viewers back the BNP’s view that the logo is a load of rubbish........
