Complaining and Lack of spirit in British Olympics

The next day of 6-July-12, when people learnt that London would be hosting the 2012 Olympic games, 52 people died, the very next morning, in the devastating terrorist attack on the city's transportation system.

In true British style, the first day of Olympics sports meant the first day of embarrassment for North Korea's women's team when they were introduced alongside a South Korean flag - it cant worse then this. And on the second day there was another botch up when a Welsh soccer player was described as English in a match program — perhaps a small thing to those outside the U.K., but no joking matter to a Welshman.

And the list goes on...  As per this article on WSJ, London was never prepared to host 2012 Olympics:

" We cannot afford these Olympics, and everyone knows it. Given the prevailing economic climate, some think that this year's opening ceremony should consist simply of an open-topped bus, with Colin Firth, J.K. Rowling and the Beckhams waving from the deck above—provided that all those concerned, including London Transport, waive their usual fees and bring their own umbrellas.
We also were penniless the last time that London hosted the Games, in 1948, but back then, austerity meant something entirely different. Six million people had no access to an inside toilet, and seven million had no hot water, and most of these privations had nothing to do with the war. "

Obviously, the world dont care. The all it needs is a reason to celebrate and surely, medals will give plenty...
