| U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron |
From
Think Progress:
Earlier today British Prime Minster David Cameron, leader of the
Conservative Party, shot back at Mitt Romney for saying London’s
preperation for the Olympics was “disconcerting.”
“We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active,
bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it’s easier if you hold
an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere,” Cameron said referring to Romney running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Later, London Mayor Boris Johnson, also a Tory, called out Romney in a
speech at an Olympics event before to tens of thousands of people in
London’s Hyde Park:
JOHNSON: I’ve never seen anything like this in all my
life. … people are coming from around the world and they are seeing us
and they are seeing the greatest city on earth. And there are some
people who are coming from around the world who don’t yet know about all
the preparations we’ve done to get London ready in the last seven
years. I hear there’s a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know
whether we’re ready. He wants to know whether we’re ready. Are we
ready? Yes we are!
