IRA COMPENSATION

[namsag]

Announced this morning that the government will be assisting people claim against the libyans for supplying the semtex that caused horrific injuries and deaths.
Will they also take it one step further and claim against the American and Irish governments who allowed a lot of the money that bought it, to be collected in their countries

Maybe the Kurdish people of Iraq might have a case against the USA? for supplying chemicals to Saddam in the early 1980's.

 

[tim west]

wouldn't it be great if all these claims started happening all over the place and eventually the general public would find out who the real culprits of terrorism really are.

They say if you can't beat them join them, thats why it's called the war on terrorism.

It certainly says something when someone loses a loved one, and the first thing they look for is a few thousand pounds for "compensation"

Yes, I am sure they will be thanking their dead relative no end, when they are sitting on the beach in the Maldives, touring Disneyland, driving around in their new Merc, sitting in their new house etc

Loss of earnings from the deceased perhaps?

American Victims of IRA bombs in london and elsewhere were compensated by the libyans yet British victims were not.

If consider the fact that the reason Gadaffi supplied the IRA with semtex was because mrs Thatcher allowed British bases to be used by the Americans to bomb Libya, then the claim against the Libyans should have been a joint claim.

It just goes to prove that the British are being used by the Americans, the so called "special relationship" is just a sick joke.
