The Campaign to Make Us All Hate The Olympics moves up a gear this week with the ludicrous, you-couldn’t-make-it-up news that the Army is to install surface-to-air missiles on a block of flats in the East End in, of course, ‘the interests of security’.
Someone needs to have a quiet lie-down here then have themselves fired. This is sport, for heaven’s sake. It is fit people running around and throwing things and hitting each other with sticks and having a swim. It is entertainment. It doesn’t matter. It is not important. It is supposed to be fun.
