I'm not surprised, its probably as close to outright racism that an editor thought they could get without being prosecuted - you can only assume what the original drafts must have been like.
Its good however that the Olympics have driven the extreme right wing commentators and politicians out into the open - we know exactly how their minds work now and where they would like us to be in their utopia - we knew they were still there from the last time a Conservative government was in power, they just don't fly their colours very often, they must be feeling brave now.

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.
