Then this might be to your benefit. There never was any opportunity
for Londoners to say no to the Olympics, it was a done deal from the
very start.
"There are now fewer than seven months before the shenanigans hit
town, with each day bringing more news about runaway finances,
contaminated topsoil, privatised housing, militarised neighbourhoods,
losses of basic liberty, corruption, undemocratic planning decisions…
While the bigwigs are gaining billions, just what do the rest of us
lose?
This will be a day-long opportunity to investigate and interrogate all
aspects of Olympic theft, debt, repression, pollution,
corporatisation, sponsorship, displacement, and lack of community
consultation.
28 January 2012, 10.30am – 5pm
Toynbee Hall, Commercial Road, London E1 6LS
From NOGOE and Save Wanstead Flats to Vancouver and Athens, a range of
local, national and international activist groups will share their
stories. Then it’s up to us all to create the mass mobilisation needed
to expose these Olympic-sized lies!
Whether you’re an avid organiser or new to the game, now is the time
to get involved.
Lunch will be available on the day at low cost .
Further information can be found at our CONference info blog.
