Really! I don't remember any violent anti Olympic protests happening in London.
I don't recall the British team bus getting attacked, I don' remember the prime minister talking about "unamed plots" to de-stabilize the country.
A few nitwits in tweed jackets mouthing off about the London Olympics to which ever fool is dumb enough to listen, did not mean the games were un popular.
As with most things in British society, the general public were ambivalent.
