Stamps For Paralympic Gold Medallists: The Petition

August 10, 2012

On Wednesday, Royal Mail announced that unlike Olympic Gold Medallists, Paralympians who win Gold Medals will not get individual stamps to mark this achievement. Instead, they will get six first class stamps with group photos.

This caused quite an outrage among disabled people and our parents and carers. One parent, Gillian Hayes, is so outraged that she has started a petition against it. Her original goal was 100 signatures. As I type, she has had 400, including mine.

What are you thinking?
