If it isn't true why are so many people in Ulster and the rest of the UK complaining about it
Because there are a lot of stupid, unthinking, hate-filled people about, perhaps?
Or people who have heard the lie that it is a payment to people for committing murder, and do not check to find out the truth?
ok 'bonus' may not be the proper description of this proposel so what would you suggest calling it, ex gratia payment, compensation maybe, i think the title of the original post would be the most appropriate 'Blood Money'.
It is a compensation payment to the family of someone who was killed.
It is not a payment to people for committing murder.
By pretending that it is a payment to people for committing murder you are simply spreading a lie.
Spreading this sort of lie is a good way to stir up further hatred, and as a result, more violence.
What a pointless and destructive cycle.
