Default The Olympic Gravytrain on Despatches

Despatches wanted to get information from LOCOG, the body which is
delivering the Olympics. LOCOG refused. Despatches demanded the
information under the Freedom Of Information act. LOCOG said that
act doesn't apply to them, because they are a private company!
Despatches then found out that LOCOG is mainly owned by Ken
Livingstone and Tessa Jowell!


I'm not sure what "owned" means in this case. LOCOG is a private
company limited by guarantee without share capital. Probably
Livingstone and Jowell are "members", who are not entitled to any
profits that the company makes.

Did Despatches imply that there was a "gravytrain", or is that your
fantasy?

And what is the relevance to u.t.l?


The alleged gravy train was elsewhere.
