Thankyou Lynne for providing the BBC complaints web site address.
I also feel strongly about how the Sports Personality Awards marginalised the success of the Para Olympic Team. Similarly I felt the Helen Rollason Special award for courage was an unwarranted gesture which I hope had insignificant meaning to Tanni compared to her third place in the viewers poll. I was one person who cast a vote for Tanni in recognition of her enduring sporting ability not as some kind of affectionate, sympathetic and charitable gesture to a disabled person.
I will pass my thoughts onto the BBC.
