It's party time in London

The benefit of the Olympics The crime deterrent

Is the Olympics only good for a big party? Well it seems so! We're not going to have any financial benefit from the Olympics, so what's the point in having it? Maybe we'll see a load of athletes performing to the best of their abilities. Or maybe we'll see another construction company not doing too well,  and failing to deliver a great stadium.

Why should we suffer because of a small minority? It seems that we have a problem with youths in this country hanging around, causing problems and generally up to no good. I don't want to generalise, but they all wear hoodies, and they are all criminals. Some smart Alec has come up with the Mosquito that sends out a harsh pitch to deter them from hanging around. But what if I'm standing on a corner? Why should I listen to that?

More from me tomorrow!
