Booing at the Paralympics

Jings is so right. Ill-mannered reactions from some spectators, spoils what for the deserving medal winners should be a very special moment. I'm in awe of the contestants - remarkabe individuals, whose spirit and resolve burns like the Olympic flame.

I suspect that David Cameron got a positive response only because the crowd was so excited and thrilled about Ellie's second gold medal.

There's a time and a place for showing your political leanings. When someone is about to get their Olympic medal is not it.

I sometimes despair of the selfishness of some of the human race.

Whether or not we agree on the medal presenters - I think they were asking for trouble asking Osbourne and May to do this - I still feel it's bad manners to boo. But having good manners is old fashioned now it seems [disgruntled emoticon]

I suppose both GO and GB as chancellors sanctioned funds for the Olympics but agree that politicians are not people I would want giving me a medal .. should I ever be a winner!
