Gandhi would be turning in his grave.

Ghandi was cremated.

Ghandi was cremated.

Well he will still be disappointed at the lack of organisation of a nation he fought so hard to liberate. I mean India has it's issues with natural disasters, but this is disgusting. It smacks of a "good enough" attitude. I was considering going to India for a holiday but not so sure now.

It's only the Commonwealth Games. The Isle of Man and British Honduras etc It'll do for them.

Well I don't think supplying rooms with human [Poor language removed] smeared everywhere is acceptable.

You know the way the British media work; they probably smeared that there themselves to get a story.

It all fits into their post colonial prejudices: 'They might be an economic powerhouse now, but aren't the darkies still savages really, eh?'

Subtext mate...it's always there.

Ok, well I don't really know why we are suddenly blaming Britain for this debacle, but the fact remains they had 7 years to get it sorted and they have failed to do so.

If the UK fail to get the Olympics read for 2012 everyone including you in a massive way will be up on your soap box blaming the Tories, Thatcher and probably anyone who waves a British flag, and you know it.

That's not true. I hope Britain shows the world how to do an Olympics the British way...ie win zero gold medals in an efficiently run Games.

Good to hear. Now go and get your Union Jack pants on and head over to the Stadium thread, it's a classic in the making.

Id bet this is the English media sensationalising as always.

Yeah probably a pic somewhere of some Sun journo wearing a sari and sandals crouching over some sink in the Radisson.
