Topic: Disgusting Olympic Games

I was sad to see in todays Independent that an allotment site in East London is threatened by the Olympics.

Its a metaphor for everything that's wrong these days.  Something genuine, local, honest and healthy to be sacrificed for the glossy, dishonest, commercial, superficial.

I wonder if the people there are happy to lose an allotment site but gain a concrete walkway?

I'm in the building trade but i cant believe how they keep cramming houses  in to the tinyest littel plots & get away with it.
There seems to be a free for all any house with a big garden put two more houses in it.
Money must talk >:(
