Glasgow Solves Financial Problems

[douglas9401]

And celebrates by putting on a games day that a country who could actually afford to but had more sense and prudence.

When asked to step outside into the daylight and view the midden they've created for citizens with poor services and infrastructure, leaders mumbled platitudes about bringing nations together, iconic something and world class something else.

What the actual is WRONG with these clowns?

If it is anything like the SNPs Ferguson Shipyards ferries fiasco,then we can expect the games to start about the year 2525 and a thousand trillion pounds over budget.

You the public in Glasgow  will have a  50 metre  Olympic class  swimming pool to use afterwards .

I think 'didn't' has dropped off the end of the first sentence.

'The UK government last week assured the Scottish government that no public money would be required to stage the games.

Earlier, Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) president Chris Jenkins said Glasgow would deliver a "world class" Commonwealth Games and create a model for the future.

He said the Australian funding pledge would "further enhance and support" the bid to bring the games back to Scotland.

Mr Jenkins also insisted that the games would not require financial outlay by either the Scottish or UK governments.

Instead, it would be funded by a CGF investment of £100m, plus private income'
