I wish to complain about the disgraceful coverage of the Paralympics in London. Is it no wonder the division between the disabled and able bodied is growing and your station is helping. You show the logo "give respect...get respect" on the referee's shirt when filming a game in Croke Park so lets have a bit more respect and show a bit of the games please.
Regards
Tom
