Olympic village in line for £1bn taxpayer bail-out

By Robert Booth"Nobody knows what the worst case scenario is likely to be," - Is post-fordism really the communism of capital and/or are we being conned again? Even the public redistribution of funds to the private sector via PPP has become unappealing now the cheap credit has dried up. This 'magic' scheme to build housing with public and private money and then sell it off to pay for the massive public debt that the Olympics will catalyse now looks unaffordable in the wake of the nearly daily cash money potlatches / bail outs of Britain's 'booming' service economy, and presumably impending collapse of real estate and developers. Prompting the question of exactly how many more of these PPP schemes will fall apart now and the schools, job centres, creches that they were to fund fall by the wayside too?
