My last point about the Paralympics is the commentary. The people doing the voiceovers are used to watching able-bodied athletes, so when they commentate on the paralympics they over-egg the "achievment" side of things, in my book.
You feel as if you are watching a freak show because what's happening is being portrayed as almost superhuman.

Surely the airtime should be determined by the ratings like any other TV show. If enough people want to watch it then put it on, if not then stick it on BBC3 with all the other stuff that no one wants to watch.
I think what people object to is the BBC's tendancy to try and play the thought police, e.g they are disabled and have had a hard life therefore you MUST find it interesting otherwise you HATE disabled people.
Personally I can take or leave it, the same as the proper olympics.

Does that not qualify you for anything then ?
Have reported them both. Cheers. Has opened up an interesting debate though and glad that most people have voiced support for the Paralympics.

All the time we have Mods who dont seem to understand how offensive Disability Discrimination is then I very much doubt it.

Probably a £20,000 grant from New Labour for a plasma screen with f*** off loud speakers and soundproofing for my house.
I forgot to mention I only had one eye on the telly.

Banned
You should've seen the one that got away....
They have been banned (also immediately.) I'd like to think that they'll THINK before writing such posts in future.

Considering the REMF which is really an NSC driven charity are just about to grant their second £ 1000 to BHAFC, Seagulls-Specials the viewpoint of some of the people is to say the least very dissapoiniting and embarrasing.
Something beyond some of the mods on here.
Can someone ban the complete TWATS on here who peddle homophobic and islamaphobic abuse please. Oh sorry, that's alright because Gareth Glover isn't offended by them and he does *such* a lot of work for charidee.
Do carry on.

Agree. and sort of related to that point, do they have sailing and horse riding at the Paralympics or is it just track and field and swimming? Can't say I've ever seen events outside those two.

That is f***ing outrageous. I have always been against homophobia and posted against it ALWAYS so I don't know where you got that from. I debate Islam but do not peddle Islamophobia. I support REMF and just pointed out that with the grant we are giving the views of some are dissapointing.
What you have posted in bordering on libel.

Yeah, such an interesting debate that you felt the need to stifle it and report those who dared to voice a differing opinion, no matter how "offensive", to yours.
Just for the record (and in no way for fear of being banned) I fully support the Paralympics and can't wait to find out who the fastest bloke in the world with one leg is.
Cut the crap Gareth. You go off in childish HUFFS if anyone has a chuckle at a dead horse or the paralympics. I don't recall you flouncing over some of the other abhorrant views on here.
And "bordering on libel" my f***ing arse. What are you on about?

Get a dictionary out and look it up.
You said I peddled Homophobia and Islamophbia , its a written lie, its libel.
