Who says there is no Olympic spirit in the UK? Oh that would be the Mitt-ster busy making people dislike him at an exponentially rapid accelerating rate. Having lived in Massachusetts when he unsuccessfully ran for the Senate, having been a steady visitor to the State when he was governor, and watching his train wreck of a Presidential campaign, I can say with some confidence that anyone who meets Mitt, despises him ever afterwards. And he is proving true to form here in London.
According to
The Guardian:
David Cameron wasted no time in rebuking Romney hours after his remarks were broadcast. On a visit to the Olympic Park, the prime minister said: "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere."
Quite clearly Mitt was not near Camden Town at 6:30 this morning when thousands of people turned out for the start of this penultimate day of the Olympic Torch Relay starting here in North London and ending the day at a rock concert in Hyde Park. The Torch Relay was planned to reach every corner of the United Kingdom (that includes Northern Ireland) over 70 days. Overnight, the Flame will be trucked to Hampton Court Palace where it will be loaded onto Gloriana, the boat that led the Queen's Jubilee Thames Parade, and rowed down to Tower Bridge in the City of London by Olympic rowers by early afternoon. Then it will be hidden in London's City Hall before it is taken (by secret route) to Stratford tomorrow night.
