Bejing and terrorism make the likelyhood of 2012 ever happening pretty remote,the IOC sold their soul many years ago but giving a repressive regime the games only makes sense if it encourages it to become more democratic,the opposite is happening in China and there is no way on this planet that London can guarantee the safety of the athletes given the constantly worstening terrorist situation and Londons position as a prime target,that a waste of £13 billion.
