It's not 'either/or' in my opinion it's fucking 'both'! We can afford the Olympics, we can afford the NHS, we can afford social care, we can afford a good school system, we can afford a society that looks after those most in need of our help. Apparently we can afford to go to war (£20bn for Iraq/Afghanistan as of June 2010)- so why can't we afford investment in UK infrastructure, sport, jobs AND support for those who are most in need of social care?
