Rejected petition the para-Olympics should get same coverage as the Olympics

More details

i think it is awful and very degrading that the paralpmics is not being treated the same, these people not only are doing it for their country but over coming many different disabilities. the royal mail are not given the gold winners gold post boxes or stamps. It isn't even being shown on BBC1. I think this is not showing our future children with disabilities what they can do within sport. I want the government to insist it is treated the same and show the sportsman/woman the same respect, we want it on BBC1.
