Tom Winnifrith Postcard - The Olympics are a debased and obscene plaything of the establishment: vindicated 4 years after London

Four years ago I wrote a lot of sceptical comment about the London Olympics. Folks like me were branded as "unpatriotic" for daring to question the narrative pushed by the political, media and business establishment. Four years on I feel that my coverage - which you can see in full HERE - has been utterly vindicated. We were lied to on a monumental scale by folks led by Dodgy Dave Cameron. I reflect on this as Rio gets underway. It is the same story but worse as this event is ever more sordid and unclean.
