Games don’t reflect Cameron’s ideals
11:21am Tuesday 11th September 2012 in Letters By Reader's letter
The Olympics and Paralympics have shown the true, honest and natural spirit of this nation, which brought the Great into Britain.
It is in complete contrast to the model Mr Cameron and our politicians are forcing us into, and we are certainly not in the top flight of world performance in his world – one where money counts above all else and the gaps between rich and poor, fit and less able, are rewarded and favoured.
George Appleby, Leighton Croft, Clifton , York.

Any profit made by the games will go into private pockets, whilst any debt incurred (ie £11 billion) will be borne by the taxpayer.
That's Cameron's ideology to a tee.
