.gov is subsidising the torches so the general public who are taking part can buy one, then they go and sell them on ebay.

Seems the UK in a nutshell to me.

maybe the taxman is watching all bidders, and will knock on the door soon and ask for 'VAT donations'

it's (apparently) about the flame.

Its about promotion & marketing, business and profit. Once, long ago, it was about sport.
