Ban Olympic Torchbearers selling their torches
Opened on May 28, 2012
This petition has been created for the athletes and genuine people in society who are disappointed and frustrated by Olympic Torchbearers selling their torches for profit and personal gain.
Torchbearers have to buy their torches for £250 but then it is their choice what they do with them but it seems wrong to sell them for such a ludicrous profit of £150,000+ !
Some torchbearers are donating the proceeds to charity - but many are not and are selling them purely because of their greed.
The torchbearers chosen are clearly abusing the privilege that many of us would have respected and cherished for a lifetime. It certainly makes you question the selection process...
