Unique library of the occult to become casualty of 2012 Olympics

Magical library may vanish

Britain's largest collection on the supernatural may be broken up and sold

A remarkable collection of rare and ancient volumes on the arts of magic and summoning ghosts could be broken up and sold off due to a funding crisis.

 
This story from the Independent is a tragedy- the library, which is held by a London University may be sold off because the university has had its funding slashed.  This collection of books is a national treasure and should be kept as one collection.

However, around the country, arts and education programmes are being cut.  Why?  So that the Labour government can try and out-spend China ( the world's second largest economy) in its planning for the 2012 Olympics.  Parts of north London are already being turned into ugly concrete warrens in preparation for the two week games - structures which will become dangerous ghettoes within days of the 2012 closing ceremonies.
Similar Stalinist grandstanding took place when New Labour showered millions of pounds on a giant, and enormously disappointing tent to mark the Millennium.

Gordon Brown is unlikely to still be Prime Minister at Christmas, let alone 2012, but should he earn the wrath of the occult community by letting this priceless library be split up, losing his job might be the least of his worries.
