You obviously either didn't bother reading the article or are having trouble with basic English Language comprehension. Otherwise you'd have seen this bit:

How does the family of Kane – and indeed the thousands of others we have heard of and the many more we haven’t – feel when they see the NHS being shamefully glorified at the biggest sporting bonanza in the world?

Sick to the stomach, I imagine

He "imagines" how the family may feel. How the fook does he know how they may feel?

It's shoddy journalism of th very worst kind, eagerly supped up by clueless idiots like you.

There you go again, someone offers an opinion even slightly that of yours and you get all personal.

I didn't agree with the article but they probably know how she feels by checking statements she has gone on record saying, maybe, but you go ahead with your drivel and personal attacks

They've closed the comments and hidden the six already made. I think they might have already taken an absolute battering over that piece.

They have re-opened them.
I was going to comment but then I saw that I was warned that 'Libellous and abusive comments are not allowed'.
I was so staggered by the hypocracy of that statement that I decided not to bother.

Then you write and report the comments that are on record. You absolutely do not do "I imagine". That is not journalism.

No, really it isn't. Its an argument for responsible journalism.

I wasn't saying that should come to pass, by the way

I wouldn't worry too much, my opinion on the McCann disappearance was dismissed because i had a picture of Noel Gallagher as my avatar at the time

Granted and i agree with that, there are plenty of actual quotes they could have actually used.

The thing is some people seem to think all doctors and nurses are angels and that criticising them is so form of crime, i'm proud of the NHS but then i've never been on the negative side of them, my wife, a former NHS worker, has a rather reserved view of them due to personal circumstances, and has an extremely negative view of the MaCmillan nurses, who she doesn't regard as the saints the general population like to make them out as, after hearing what happened to her mother it does make me weary.
Not liking the NHS is a fact for quite a few people.

The article in hand though is generally drawn on the legally acceptable limit of the racist line, the lazy journalism aside, it's a needless hate filled piece of crap, but we live in a land of free speech and it's better to air it and debate than ban and punish.

Getting back to the ceremony, If you watch it on the bbc iplayer the section between 11 and 25 minutes about the industrial revolution is absolutely superb. I especially loved the music. Think its called And i will kiss by Underworld.

Yes, it's very wrong.
