from what we know we were looked in the eye by delegates and promised their votes last time. They then welched and we were out of the running first round. The authorities face the problem of having countries unable to run the thing whereas we have the facilities to run one this summer if needs be ( as long as G4S aren't contracted for security ) - so now all of a sudden it suits the authorities. There is such a long time between now and the proposed date could mean things may change and we are no longer "needed" and the same thing could happen again. We spend millions and get snubbed so I say fuck them unless we get a guarantee now which has massive penalty clauses in it if the change their minds - and no bidding process so no bungs
