The Dark Side of the London Olympics (Part 1/4)

VICE takes an in-depth look at the British public's reaction to The Games in London and the negative impact it's having on certain people's lives.

We went to meet all the lucky locals, such as the residents of the Carpenter's Estate, who have been evicted from their homes to make way for the Games. Some of them even got moved to Stoke! Lucky them. Marginally more hyped about the whole thing are the competitors in the Boris Johnson themed "wiff-waff" tournament (that's ping-pong to you, me, and everyone besides Boris).
