THE correspondences in your newspaper opposing the 2012 Olympics miss one point.
The people who aren't happy about paying for the 2012 Olympics are complaining people outside London do not have to make a contribution.
However, their stated plan of action is to do precisely what they complain those outside London are doing and not pay the Olympic Games precept.
If they are successful then the burden will fall on those who have chosen to pay and the precept will presumably be significantly higher as a result of the non-payment of others.
The London authorities will be under great pressure to collect the tax for the reason outlined above.
Surely the answer in a democracy is to vote out the party you are not happy with and not simply say you won't pay?
Who was it who said tax the price you pay for civilisation?
