I could not BELIEVE it when I saw that ATOS were a sponsor of the Games. Who's stupid idea was that? Our taxes paying these twits for testing our disabled people and the subsequent appeals process is paying for this sponsorship - not ATOS. Sorry Messrs Cameron and Clegg any credibility you had has gone out the window as far as I am concerned.......... ..

Backlash of the Paralympians: Athletes claim double standards in sport honours They were hailed as heroes in the summer. Now, they feel they have lost out in the New Year Honours List compared with able-bodied athletes. And they are very, very angry http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/backlash-of-the-paralympians-athletes-claim-double-standards-in-sport-honours-8433332.html
