What, like the London Olympics in 2012? Did that bring in £20+ billion? Funny - I didn't notice my taxes being reduced or anything; just a few weeks of roadworks and unpopular sports being shown on TV.

Mostly because £20 billion is about 4-5% of the budget in 2014 and that year there ware a deficit of £84 Billion.
