I am certain the Brits will offer a fantastic event, the same as the Chinese have.It is sad to see even a sports article being used as a nation bashing arena. We as a global economy need to pull together, recognize the differences we all have and move forward towards ending poverty and acheiving global prosperity.

I refuse to believe that Lord Coe and his cronies did not realise that the London games were going to cost vastly more than the original estimate. They relied on getting the Government to commit to the games, and knew that they would then have to raise the money somehow. As a result many good causes – many vastly more deserving than the games have been starved of vital funds.Who really cares how many golds we get ? Many of the results are likely to be influenced by increasingly sophisticated “enhancements”. So what value have they anyway ?

Cancel the Olympic games and save the nation billions of pounds which could be put to a more useful cause.

The BBC in the UK did quite a good job covering the Paralympics. Although not treating it equally as Beijing had wonderfully done, there was quite a lot of coverage and in some ways it was better – with the anchors out and about much more.

I am an overseas abled body brit living and working in Shanghai and I have to write to say how fantastic and amazing I have found the paralympics !!!!!!!!!!! forget about the olympics, i have never been so glued to watching the games as I have to the Paralympics,there are so many amazing and astonising moments that left an impact on me… I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE NEVER SEEN COVERAGE OF any other paralympics on TV before and only now here in Beijing am I seeing it… !!! i clicked to read about it on the UK Yahoo site and there is NOTHING…. Is it even being broadcasted in the UK or anywhere else on major channels? TELL ME AM I WRONG BUT WHY ISnt THERE the same COVERAGE LIKE THE Olympics GAMESSSSSSSSS for the Paralypics, it doesnt make sense…..some many people like myself will benefit from watching amazing athelets proform and prove they are as good an anyone else…I HAVE TO SAY THANKYOU CHINA….

We (London) have none of the resources determination or preperation needed in order to remotley match the beijing games. Our best hope is to highlight our ‘originality’ ‘inclusivness’ and ‘art’ and hope that underlining these less tangible aspects can make at least some people believe our games matched theirs
