London Marathon

[Charlie Sweet]

Hopefully it`ll have peaked here by then and the worst of it will be over.

I know it shouldn`t be the case with matters of health, but there`s a hell of a lot of money wrapped up in various ways surrounding the London Marathon - charities, accommodation, spending in and around the marathon etc, so I`m guessing that they`ll only call it off if they absolutely have to.

That's what I thought too until I read about Paris being cancelled today. It takes a bit of steel for a Tory health minister to go against the prevailing wind.
