ACCORDING to a recent report, politicians and council chiefs are to be handed 13,000 VIP seats at the Olympics, while ordinary fans miss out.
Like all of the international federations participating in the games, a delegation from Fifa will enjoy a luxury stay at five star hotels, chauffeur-driven cars and the best seats at the mostwatched events.
In response to the idiotic ramblings of Fifa president Sepp Blatter, can these freebies be taken away?
Then Mr Blatter can pay his way like everyone else.
Martin Birtle, Billingham.
