So how much will the family get?

[Mailman]

Just what problem do you have with one victim's compensation possibly, just possibly, being substantial? Anger at others not doing so well? Grow up.

I have no problems with compensation being paid...I just dont believe the Menezes should receive more than the 57 families who lost loved ones on the 7th of July.

Thats what the crux of my original post was about, perhaps some of you should actually try and read what I post instead of flying half cocked off the handle

You made one bet, and said you willing to bet yet again:

1) I bet what Menenzes family will get will be a hell of a lot more than all of the 57 families put together from the 7/7 bombings!

2) Im also willing to bet the payments will be made with all haste and wont take anywhere near as long as it did for assistance to get to the survivors of the 7/7 bombings.

Hence, question how much you did bet for #1, and how much you willing to bet for #2?

I bet the same amount as the value of your contributions to this forum!

I read it. That's what I was answering. I don't think the amounts should be compared. That's what I said. I didn't say that one amount should be greater than another, I said that they were not to be compared.

If you won't feel in the least responsible for your government's actions, don't be surprised if it doesn't feel responsible for you.

not my government! frankly I think the lot of them should be either taken to Nuremberg or sectioned.

By sectioned, do you mean thinly sliced and examined under a microscope?

Or do you mean locked in an asylum and supported for the rest of their lives?

I only ask as most UK politicians end up working for the EU anyway.

'Tis your Government..You have the oppertunity to use your vote...if you didn't vote.....shutup!

[vetran]

I like the sound of that

I was thinking of the Asylum actually but Parma ham a'la new lie sounds good, I know a Giant Lizard who would enjoy that.

I did vote and we got Conservative here, however like the rest of England our votes didn't count and we ended up with a load of liars from across the border ruling us.

What if your 1/20,000,000 th of a say wasn't enough to change the result?

If you are 1 out of 20,000,000 with that particular view, and the majority disagree with you, but you still believe things should change your way.....I guess you will be a terrorist!

Oh dear...I've just realised something.....because the majority on this board don't agree with pretty much anything the Goverminent say or do......we must be terrorists !

Right lads and lasses......please report to the nearest Police Station (providing it's open of course) and hand yourselves in for "re-processing".

It's only fair.
