Malaysian Sports Complex in north London

Recently in an email, a friend working in an engineering firm in London wrote:

Our company is bidding for the Malaysian Sports Complex in north London. It is a £40m value project (excluding all the professional fees for engineers, architects and etc). Our fees for the job (civil & structural, mechanical & electrical, project management) will be near the £1.5m mark. UK does not have many great coaches, many of their coaches are foreigners, e.g., German coach for rowing (an event which they always get a medal in Olympics) and Australian coach for swimming. It is a completely waste of money to build a sports complex in London and send athletes here.

So now you have it, our brain-dead government is at its best again.
