So, Weymouth is to have a 53-metre high white elephant, another abomination in the name of the dreaded Olympics.

No doubt they don’t wish to be outdone by the white elephant that is about to go up in Charles Street here in Dorchester.

Not only white elephants but unsightly ones too.

As we’re all supposed to be pulling our belts in it would be interesting to know where all of this money is coming from.
