This country really is a madhouse, and with the way the rest of the country is going down the gurgler, in most of our big cities, its becoming a Doss House ! God Help us all.

Markio Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 The Daily Mail? Seriously, change paper. Just read in Viz that Jonnie Fartpants blew a hole in his trousers, disgusting show of vulgarity, yet in the same 'paper' Victorain Dad shows good wholesome values. It's madness i tell thee!

Markio Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 hehehehe, while i am a bit thick i'm not really MP material. Just having a Monday morning giggle, well expect for the Daily Mail bit, it's a bad paper, had a look at my dad's yesterday and i just skipped through the whole thing and not because it was full of long words. To make a serious point i don't read too much into these stories that the likes of that paper report. On the face of it it sounds shocking but i wonder if it's the full facts reported? I'm guessing no, and that's what makes these papers able to sensationalise every story that appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Unfortunately it's nothing to do with the Daily Mail this time. The MOD also paid out over £200k to a civilian employee who suffered 'depression'. Now, THAT'S depressing!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 do you not find it depressing reading that paper of yours its all doom and gloom ....... bad stuff goes on all the time and not just in England .. Bin that paper and enjoy your life .. Read the Sun its much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 The typist with the thumb is not a Daily Mail work of fiction - it's been well-documented and is depressingly true. She was awarded more than twice what our soldiers get, if they maimed on the battlefield. Some people argue that the lads shouldn't expect huge sums of compo for battlefield wounds, blah blah blah, it's what they signed up for, blah blah blah. However, to award an MOD typist £484,000 for a thumb injury is rubbing their faces in it and is nothing more than an obscenity (and nowt to do with the Daily Mail) But yes, I agree with you, Roadkill. The papers (any paper) are depressing reading these days. I prefer not to bother. They either bring you down, or **** you off with all the celebrity trivialities that I don't give a toss about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yep, unfortunately these stories, including the typist, have received national exposure in the press and are sadly true. The MOD promised to overhaul the criteria by which compensation is measured and granted but few seem to have benefited from this.
