Olympic movement – not! Gridlocked London puts brakes on Games

May 21, 2012 08:27

The influx of visitors set to hit London for the Olympics have raised concerns the transport system cannot handle the extra weight. Airport delays, strikes and congestion could see London grind to a halt as 5 million visitors overload the city.

If you value your comfort and your life then stay out of London.

Not only the transport system in London stinks but the whole of London stinks because it is the cradle of Zionism and let this be an example for Asian countries especially China where the israelies are trying to spread their venomous tentacles.

Do you know who owns the security cameras throughout the underground here in London :D ??
''Verint Systems is the security firm that is responsible for the CCTV surveillance cameras, in the London Underground rail network, and it is an Israeli company, with approximately 1000 employees''.
Also ''ripple effect'' (on youtube) is a documentary that explores why no CCTV footage of the four set-up Muslims boarding the tube-trains has been released on 7/7.. seems far-fetched.. no?
..CIA/MI5/Mossad at work as per usaual!

The London subway is shabby and dirty and the interims are too long. It's old and vast, that's true but to call it the best transportation system in the world? the guy must be joking.But when the Brits can't change something for better they would call it a tradition and be proud of it lol.

'We have the best transport system in the world..." That is sooo funny. I noticed the moron that said it was trying his best not to smile. All of the  British transport systems are dirty, inefficient, unprofessionally run, expensive and totally unreliable.

T he last time I was in London, my wife and I were thrown off a bus in the rain because we didn't have the exact fair. The conductor explained in his best self righteous English manner that it's now company policy that you must have the correct fair as they no longer give change!!!!! What a complete prat!

I will not fly directly into the UK anymore. I fly to Brussels and my son collects me. It's cheaper, more fun and a lot easier than going through that cesspit they call Heathrow.

Ask anyone in London and they will tell you that the transport system (in all its forms is disgusting) and cannot coop in normal circumstances never mind any additional influx of people

I forgot to add, has anyone else noticed we've heard little if anything about what spectators are actually going to have to go through to get in to venues? That's for another day I assume - most likely at the very last minute when it's too late for people to back out.

Everything you say is true.

By now I wouldn't think it would matter. Anyone who still persists with going to the games as a spectator knowing full well what they'll have to deal with is clearly out of their mind and can't be reasoned with.

Olymp.. What? (unregistered) 21.05.2012 09:45

Honestly, only an insane person or country will risk the madness that London is preparing for them...Imagine a terrorist capital of the world hosting Olympic, the game that was supposed to bring Peace, and unity among nations!The anti-missle on the roof tops, the torpedos in the water, the submarines in the seas, the nuclear weapons on the air.. so where is the 'Olive branch' going to be hanged... maybe on one of those weapons of mass destructions. Certa inly, their blood thristy queen will be warming up for sea of blood this summer... they (Britain) have nothing good to offer the world but evil!!  One must wonder what will make a sane person to even think of going to London, and risk being the wine in the chalice of the mother goddess..Boycott London, It has nothing to do with OLYMPICS!!!!

what, the capital city of capitalism ist not efficient for those useless, expensive and stupid transport for mass? Get the helicopter. If London is full with 5 millions tourists, OMG, they will just listen to the blast system to control demos (that beat you to the ground since it reachs 180 dB), the anti-air missiles against terror attacks, but oh, they forgot new bus! And cut the head of those stupid bus trade union, god save the queen! And hang them high!

London banksters and polies, welcome in real life and real things, people going to work and having real things to do, not only selling and buying from computer screens, in milli-second rythm to make billions on rice, wheat, corn, petrol and others.
