I'm actually a bit torn on that John Oliver one. Its seems fairly shortsighted in a lot of ways. Hes absolutely bang on that some Governments have signed atrocious deals, I'll grant him that.

If it was easy to sell the economic impact of a new stadium, there would be an endless parade of economists on TV talking about those positive impacts.
