Every time I try to listen listen to my usual news sources just as soon as the word Olympic is half mentioned I get the message "Due to rights restrictions this part of the program is not available." repeated over and over. So, I've said auf wiedersehen to Auntie Beeb, and am now getting all my Olympic news from here.

What's a "Corporate Society"? Thought I might have accidentally visited The New Statesman website for a few desperate seconds!

For anyone outside of the UK wanting better coverage of the olympics, this has been renowned to work. Tested in US and Barcelona and so far successful.

How much is being spent on security..................or anyone want to guess...........

Whatever the figure is, and I would say at least twice to cost of the games themselves, not really effective...........

Can't we see knighthoods taken off people never mind suggesting more handed out like confetti.
