FIFA Fat Cats
The Sunday Times reports today that the FIFA Fats Cats who prop up team captain - Sepp Blatter - will get the cream of the crop when it comes to tickets for the London Olympics in 2012.
Apparently no expense will be spared on FIFA bosses who will enjoy a £1.5 million junket in London - including five-star hotels and tickets to events such as the 100 metres final.
Captain Blatter has been given an access-all-areas pass and will be chauffeured around in a top of the range BMW.
While the the FIFA members who voted to support his presidency get simlar benefits - including tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies.
FIFA had originally been invited to stay at the Dorchester Hotel during the London Olympics - until the London Mayor, Boris Jonhnson, withdrew the offer - in the wake of England's humiliation at the hands of FIFA over its 2018 World Cup bid.
Good for him.
Who knows who's paying for all this extravagance - for people who should be dipping into their own pockets and paying their own way.
If there's any public money involved, then the plug should be pulled - PDQ.
