    I like them too, but this hasn't got the same buzz to it for some reason.

    The Japanese people don't even want these games to go ahead.

    As usual though the people are not listened to and money talks as ever.

    No crowds but I wonder how many television crews and journalists from around the world will be there <doh>

    Yet more hypocrisy.

    Oh dear. oh dear!

    The Labour Party plans to cut up to a quarter of its staff after finding itself in a dire financial situation brought on by a mass exodus of members and a slew of anti-Semitism cases.

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!!!

    David Evans, Labour's general secretary, presented the NEC with the party's plans to recover from the current financial situation. The website LabourList reported that Mr Evans said during Tuesday's meeting: "We don't have any money".
