Yes we want the Olympics we have not had it since 1948 and although we have had the soccer Euro championships and the Commonwealth games in Scotland this will be the first major international sporting even since the Soccer World Cup in 1966.
Londoners may not be too keen because for the next ten years they will have to pay extra on their council tax (tax that is applicable to all households rented and owned covering local services etc).
