London 2012 preparations are a shambles, says half of the nation The survey found that 45 per cent of Britons believe that the failure of the security firm G4S to provide enough guards for the Olympics left the country appearing unready for the Games. With less than a fortnight until the opening ceremony, another 15 per cent are unsure about the preparations. On top of this, 40 per cent of those questioned said they believed the delivery of London 2012 was on track. The ComRes poll, disclosed on ITV News at Ten, questioned more than 2,000 adults over the weekend. About 40 per cent of those questioned said they were concerned about safety at the Games after the Ministry of Defence was asked to provide troops. However, almost half said they had no fears. Harriet Harman, the Labour deputy leader, accused the Government of being "dangerously incompetent" over security. "I hope they are going to get themselves sorted out before the Games," she said. There is going to have to be a major post mortem.
