If they were unlawfully killed, partly (mostly) by the behaviour of a driver employed by the Ritz, maybe we should sue the owner of the Ritz for reimbursement of the trial costs at least.

Isn't there anyone we can just shoot, and be done with it?

I could imagine that the Crown might think of - and try to get the money back in a civil case.

But in England and under British law?

So let's try to reopen proceedings in Paris .... or even better: follow Set's advice.

So quite literally the "accident" was not an accident! It would not have happened if other people had not done what they did.


this is why I commented on intent. In our jurisdiction, it is an "accident" by definition, unless intent can be proven.

Again, to all the folk who selected accident on the poll for this thread, I say you were wrong.


you can say that, but you'd be wrong (except for any British poll-takers you can out)

Again the interesting thing about this verdict is that it was not an accident. She was unlawfully killed unintentionally or otherwise through the actions of others who are to blame.

Those who said it was a straightforward accident, with no blame attached to any party are wrong. I rest my case m'lud.

But hell, who cares?

Steve,

Your poll asked "Was she murdered?"

Your conclusion is "she was unlawfully killed unintentionally."

What do you consider to be the correct answer to the way your poll was worded?

Steve,

Your poll asked "Was she murdered?"

Your conclusion is "she was unlawfully killed unintentionally."

Well first I could have phrased that better with a comma or two...She was unlawfully killed, (unintentionally or otherwise),

but you ask a reasonable question. I didnt give the coroners verdict options because when I started this thread many years ago...(Smile) the idea that there might be a coroners verdict was still a long way off.

But to answer directly I think the nearest option in the poll to the jury verdict would be option 2 "Possibly, we will never know the truth".

That certainly sums up my position. The more I think about this, the more I am astounded that the jury did not actually come to the conclusion "accidental death". The pressure on them must have been immense. Yet they went for unlawful killing.

The cost of the investigation into the death of Princess Diana has topped £12.5m, new figures show.


£12.5m = $24.6m = 15.5m€

Damn and blast. We should be able to charge a lot of that to Mohammed al Pillock.

the answer you get depends on the question you ask.

Drink driving, speed and seat belt. That cost 12.5 million pounds. How pathetic. Now bury the bitch and get over it.

she was buried 10+ years ago.

p.s. your sig line is tautological nonsense. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

You wouldn't know judging by the number of magazine covers she's still on.

you are of course entitled to disagree with my opinion Wilso, and I probably would not even have expressed it, had your post about Diana been less offensive.

regarding logic, I'm not so sure it is just a matter of opinion.

That's another thing. It's only offensive to you because of the ridiculous pedestal this woman was placed on by your country. If the stupid cow had put a seat belt on, she'd still be alive today, and the fact she didn't just proves how arrogant, aloof and isolated she was. She's DEAD - GET OVER IT. To me, she meant NOTHING. I see the royal family as a bunch of inbred misfits, and am completely ashamed of my country's connection to them. I see the Union Jack as a butcher's apron and am disgusted by the sight of it in the corner of our flag.

Let's put you down as undecided, then.

It was a matter of concern to some Brits (although not this one) that the mother of the future king (and so Defender of the Faith, patron of the Church of England and so on) was turning into a serial muslim shagger and seemingly unconcerned about adverse opinion.

Certainly, a lot of people thought it might have been a good thing if she were removed, and quickly. Quite a reasonable assumption in some quarters therefore, that her death might be arranged by the state security services.
