Serious question..... how will it make any money? The cost of putting the event on is being projected as £24 billion. I know loads of businesses have/will benefit and a lot of the infrastructure can be reused, but surely we'd all be a lot better off with it being in some other country, with someone else paying for it.
I just can't imagine it generating that much revenue for the economy.
