4. London’s mayor at the time – Ken Livingstone
"I didn't bid for the Olympics
because I wanted three weeks
of sport. I bid for the Olympics
because it's the only way to get
the billions of pounds out of
the Government to develop the
East End - to clean the soil, put
in the infrastructure and build
the housing. It's exactly how I
plotted it, to ensnare the
Government to put money into
an area it has neglected for 30
years. I am delighted that there
will be billions of pounds from
the Government”
Starter: Based on this quote,
what do you expect the east
end of London to be like?

7. My Life Is Not For You To Take Is It?
‘You wanna take my life and get nothing out of it’
I beg them to not take my life, while I’m on my knees with their gun to my head
and knife to my throat
You watch me suffer,
But for what?
What have I got that you want?
I have nothing for you
You just wanna take my life and call your self a ‘DON’ call yourself a ‘wasteman’
you took my life and didn’t care
Yeah I’m from a different area but is that really a good enough
Is that the reason you get out of bed every morning because that’s just sad
‘You slit my throat, you pull the trigger, I’m in the alleyway and you just don’t
quit
I stand and watch myself die
‘See the tears run from my eyes down my face
See my soul jump out of place’
Are You Mad?
My life was not for you to take so y did you take it.
Did it bring you happiness? , did it bring you joy? What about wealth?
NO…So was my life really worth taking? By Letetia Brown, 15, who lives in Stratford
