To be honest, if we think of the reality of war, getting a nice earner out of it is sickeningI thought it was a bit ott. But I suppose with the whole Ukraine thing in the background they are trying to make it as impressive as possible. Plus the UK havent hosted it for a long time.
Not my cup of tea either but I hope it goes brilliantly and as you say its great for the local economy. Also may put us in the frame for other majorr events if it goes well.
