Wil Self on Newsnight - Olympics

[crmcatee]

Anyone catch him having a serious dig at the expense and sustainability of the Olympics with 'Always got an excuse' Jowell last night ?

He's a bit of an old nay sayer though, isn't he.

I'm surprised he hasn't bumped himself off yet - seeing as everything in his world seems to be so bleak and negative.

Very true, his syringe is always half empty.

I watched that last night... I loved it when he said Sepp 'Bladder'!

Some may dislike Self but he knows how to put people in their place.

'How many of them were local people?' he asked, in reference to the number of people employed.
Jowell said 25 per cent.

I just wished he had said how many 'British' people - he may have stopped Jowell in her tracks then.
