Default Boris revolks Blatter / FIFA's freebie Olympic room

London 2012 - Mayor cancels FIFA's London 2012 rooms


London Mayor Boris Johnson has revoked FIFA's free hotel rooms at the city's exclusive Dorchester hotel during the 2012 Olympic Games.


FIFA president Sepp Blatter and his team had been in line to benefit from the rooms during the two-week sporting extravaganza in the city.
However following the controversy of the 2018 World Cup vote, which saw England knocked out at the first-round stage with just two of a possible 22 votes from the FIFA executive committee, Johnson has decided that they should not receive the freebie.

Gotta love Boris

So... because England's bid wasn't up to scratch with the rest... he is trying to wind up FIFA? Clever boy.

The question is why was we giving him a free room in the first place ? I don't think Boris Johnson was personally paying for him more than likely paid for by us mugs anyway !

Are you being serious or just trying to wind up the English?

Has he said it's due to the loss of the hosting to Russia or is it now down to some sort of funding issue?

Looks a case a sour grapes to me. It's embarrassing for England to do that, almost as embarrassing as the way they got mugged off on their bid.

I dont feel embarrased by that, any of you other Englishmen feel ashamed? No?

Serves them right, if they weren't dodgy, corrupt, greedy c*nts, then we wouldn't have done this, regardless of wether we got the cup or not.

All well and good doing this but remember they're just taking back one of the bribes.

Just think how much has probably been handed over already!

he would probably say something like:

"You horrid horrid lot, playing us like fiddles in order to gain free accommodation for yourself and the reprehensible team that have supported you, and yet, when the time came to play like good sports, you welched on your commitments to play fairly, and by the rules, displaying a lack of common courtesy that even a waiter would expect from a customer. You have left me with no choice but to withdraw your visiting privileges as part of our good nature, I would also hope that you will be able to fund not only your trip, but also any security options you will need to consider during your time in our great capital city, remembering that we do not allow armed vigilantes dressed in gorilla suits to accompany you and your entourage and, if you do insist on bringing any sort of trouble to our shores, we would have no hesitation in showing you around our nice clean police station containment units."

or soemthing like that

Also, if the quality of the English bribes was a free stay in a hotel, no wonder you got mugged off. What else did they offer, some Tesco vouchers and a free go on the London eye.
