Right... taxpayers are paying for the 'Lympics right? Billions during a recession. ATOS is funding the Paralympics while simultaneously striking thousands of seriously disabled people off all benefits and even driving some to suicide... the GOV have had YEARS to put infrastructure in place...
...and yet Transport for London is still email people saying "The roads will be fucked and closed (except 'olympic lanes') so it's up to YOU not to drive on them or try to travel anywhere."
I. Do. Not.
GET IT.
Lets face it, it's going to be monumentally hard for anyone other than the Athletes to get around whilst the games are on. Not that the media will be allowed to report this or paint the 'Lympics in anything but a good light, especially whilst it's taking place. Afterwards, all hell will break loose between the parties in Government. Lympic legacy and all that bollocks.
It's not great at the best of times so imagine it where large parts of the infrastructure are shut down?
My advice is move back up North for the duration of the games, safe in the knowledge that you can get around freely with clean air and rid of the spectre of being mugged or stabbed and in most cases both. Well, sorta.
