A short article upon which I explain (angrily) the reasons behind the opposition to the Olympic Games, not an attack on the participants but an attack on the corporations making billions out of it and getting away with evil crimes in the process!The Olympics is not something people would see as a reason to protest, but once the truth behind the Olympic Games is told, people start to open their eyes and see the bigger picture.Personally I believe the games themselves are excellent as I am a very sporty person and love to see all the different nations competing in a football match or on the track, however, as an Anarchist and Anti-Capitalist, I’m choosing to boycott the London 2012 games as I feel that now the Olympics has become a haven for rich, corporate, tax avoiding scum to breed and only make many more millions. As proposed, the extremely murderous and tax avoiding scum of McDonalds are going to ‘break their record’ of building the biggest ‘restaurant’ EVER!! (if that’s what you can call it)! Absolute disgrace seeing as people in 3rd world countries continue to starve to death whilst the company is trying to break a bloody record that really doesn’t need to be broken, it’s just a chance to make even more money than they already have! Also the constant increase in restaurants means more and more animals are to be enslaved and tortured all in the name of a quick buck, the grain fed to animals that are to be led to slaughter is more than enough to feed the starving people of 3rd world countries, but do the corporations care? Nah, they’re happy as long as they get paid...no surprise there!The Olympics in London is going to cost the British economy around £560m in just security costs alone! Most of which will be payed for by the British tax payer, unwillingly but this happens all the time, the tax payer having to invest in acts which not everyone wants to, such as supporting acts of war, or as mentioned, sponsoring the corporations which shit all over us! No doubt, just like when the royal wedding was happening, our rights to protest will soon be stripped of us and it’ll now become illegal to utter a single word of opposition to the games, as seen in Soho Sq. earlier in the year. It seems that whenever Cameron becomes scared to be humiliated, he turns into a Nazi and demands a ‘all who oppose shall suffer’ attitude and that leads to a habit, and habit leads to addiction and in a political manor, addiction can be a police state!I would also like to use this article as step to say about how Palestine is continued to be pushed to the side and forgotten about for yet another year, “not a recognized country”, yeah but they’re getting bombed and murdered for trying to stand up for what is rightfully theirs and not letting the Israeli military, led by a murderous few take even more land illegally!Anti-Capitalist
I was kind of gutted a few weeks ago when I missed the Olympic torch passing through my town, since it is really only a once in a lifetime thing to see, as I can't see London hosting the Olympics in my lifetime again.

I was home ill that day and I missed it so don't feel too let down.
