HAVING read your front page feature I must say how absolutely disgusted I am to hear about the sale of “The Olympic Torch” by the so called honoured people who were chosen to carry them.

I think that it just goes to show the way that this country of ours has sunk. The games haven’t even begun and the “pieces of history” are being sold ! Words fail me, I find it hard to believe the chosen ones place so little little value on being given the chance to do the job that they can’t wait to flog them.
