Screenshot of Lord Coe,chairman of the Olympic Committee, appearing before the Parliamentary Select Committee today and under questioning from scourge of the Murdochs Tom Watson MP.
Time and again he voices concerns over “reputational damage” being done to the 2012 Olympic Games through logistical and ticket allocation shortcomings whilst all the while sporting (ptp) on his lapel a naughty piece of alleged plagiarism in the form of the 2012 Olympic logo that may well be making him a secondary infringer of copyright.
If the double 1500m gold medal-winning Lord is worried about reputational damage to the summer Games, perhaps someone should advise of the potential litigation and adverse publicity shedloads of it limping about with him during office hours.
Kindly view the overwhelming evidence here:
(London artist claims Wolff Olins’ 2012 Olympic logo infringes the copyright of original 2006 work Infinitude II ).
Do we as a Nation need all this Olympic and Jubilee hype to make us feel positive?

Not personally, but the masses seen keen to want to pretend to enjoy it all. Perhaps it’s the distraction effect?

Seb Coe looks a bit like a young Del Boy in that still image. I’m not for a minute suggesting their respective business deals are in any way comparable. I don’t think so. Well, maybe I am. Infact, yes, I am. :))

Ha! I once saw the actual Robin Reliant Del & Rodders used in OFAH, complete with the highly impressive “Trotters Global Trading co” logo emblazened proudly across its grubby stubby yellow side, parked up near the Thames pedestrian tunnel at Greenwich.
That was the thing about Del Boy – habitually passing off counterfeit goods.
Perhaps they’ll be serving “Peckham Spring” on the rocks at the opening ceremony?
Cheers Mick 😉

When I say millions, I should have been clearer: it is many tens of millions.
