Ah well dont worry folks at least i am pleased for them.
3t should hang his head in shame or not?

[Ken4155]

Why have you put this in sport, piggy. No wonder no-one's replied.

[jackthehat]

About time, too.

If it gives them any comfort/recompense at all or only validation that they and their loved ones were not at fault then it's a good thing.

My nephew and his stepfather were there and although the lad had nightmares for some time, he has not suffered long term as far as I know.
I have the front page of the paper the day after that shows his terrified face as he is crushed from behind towards the fence.

Those poor families.

[Ken4155]

I don't think it was ever about the money, though, was it. It was all about having someone be held to account for a catalogue of errors and cover-ups, before, during and after the terrible incident.

[Lie-in King]

A long-overdue result following a shameful chapter of events.

[jno]

there'll be financial loss as well, Ken, when family breadwinners are crushed to death.

But yes, the original incident and the lies and cover-ups have not been pretty.

Why have you put this in sport, piggy. No wonder no-one's replied.
sorry ken where should it have gone?

[piggynose]

its a sports related topic, should it have been put in Law or News?

[Ken4155]

I would have put it in the news section.

[piggynose]

Sometimes Ken the ed decides if its in the wrong category, and amends it. But not today, he/she must be busy.

Lawyers for the police
this has been heard by Judge and Jury and they found no case to answer.

erm the judge did and called off the case - as a matter of Law

you gotta laugh at these lawyers as they selectively quote and mislead - doncha love them ?

[Peter Pedant]

I thought it was obvious that they settled because they thought the criminal case would go the other way

"mistakes" have lasted thirty years - but as NJ has assured us - it had to be so. Lucky lucky souls arent they - we need more British Justice! Lots of it!

[ToraToraTora]

why would I hang my head in shame, I don't follow?

[Peter Pedant]

o god I do
didnt you say they threw themselves onto the rat traps
and as untermenschen didnt deserve to live anyway

as if living is a word to apply to people existing in the North

you didnt - - oos! (*)

(*) one TTT apology there

[piggynose]

18.31 ttt if you dont know, dont worry pp has exonerated you.

[ToraToraTora]

I just don't get it, plod covered up some cock ups, that's not disputed. I hope one day they'll focus on the true cause of the disaster.
