Another shameful disaster?

My reactions to the news that we are sending a team to bid for the 2018 Football World Cup alternated between humour and horror.

Could we please come back down to earth? It is going to be bad enough with the Olympics. Britain has a shameful record for bringing these grands projets in anything like on time or within budget. We have a transport system the quality of which would embarrass Cairo. The standard of the hotels is abysmal, it is near impossible to get a decent meal except at fantastic expense and, most important of all, listen to me, WE HAVEN'T GOT ANY MONEY.

Stop it! Lord love us!
