Mister Vincent's relatives are now taking the piss on an epic scale - to say that they feel entitled (and able) to do this says a lot about the present state of the country and our "public servants". Woeful

Sir Jean-Luc Picard would make a tremendous captain for the first "B Ark".

Pcar - if that NHS claim goes through it should be challenged at Judicial Review. As with all these cases the spotlight should also fall on the lawyers involved - both NHS and claimants. Amazing for non English speakers they found a lawyer fast enough - gosh ... I wonder how that happened?.

The relationship between medical negligence lawyers acting for the NHS and claimants lawyers is rather to cosy and friendly for my taste - I heard some un-effin believable stuff a couple of weeks ago late night driving IIRC - the NHS is a money waterfall for legal predators who are feeding on institutional incompetence both medical and legal.

Idiocy in Judiciary:

Refugee Family Set to Win Millions from NHS for Not Using Foreign Language to Explain Importance of Feeding Newborn

“Although we have made huge improvements since this incident occurred in 2009, we will take the opportunity to review it closely and see if there are any more lessons about our post-natal care that we can learn.”

Learn this: NHS policy/rules - if a patient does not speak/understand English it is their obligation to provide an interpretor.

On this case: Judge Martin McKenna should be sacked, every creature that raises their progeny knows they must be protected and fed. Wood-lice, birds, reptiles, mice, sloths all do this without being told to. Idiot Judge has ruled non-english speakers are less intelligent than wood-lice, isn't that racism?

Sorrell is married to Cristiana Falcone, director of media and entertainment industries at the World Economic Forum, ie DAVOS.

"The World Economic Forum is a Swiss nonprofit foundation, based in Cologny, Geneva, Switzerland. Recognised in 2015 by the Swiss authorities as an "other international body" under Switzerland's Host State Act 2007 (HSA, SR 192.12),[1] its mission is cited as "committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas"."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum
Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Bono, Paulo Coelho, and Tony Blair are regular Davos attendees.
Past attendees include Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Henry Kissinger, Nelson Mandela, Raymond Barre, Julian Lloyd Webber, Sandro Salsano, Wences Casares, and Yasser Arafat.

The Transnational Institute describes the World Economic Forum's main purpose as being "to function as a socializing institution for the emerging global elite, globalization's "Mafiocracy" of bankers, industrialists, oligarchs, technocrats and politicians. They promote common ideas, and serve common interests: their own."[57]

A study, published in the Journal of Consumer Research, investigated the sociological impact of the WEF. It concluded that the WEF do not solve issues such as poverty, global warming, chronic illness, or debt. They have simply shifted the burden for the solution of these problems from governments and business to "responsible consumers subjects:

the green consumer, the health-conscious consumer, and the financially literate consumer." They merely reframe the issues, and by so doing perpetuate them. Gore is singled out as a prime example. Gore's speeches deliberately shift focus away from the problems of unregulated markets and corporate activities to one of moral pathologies, individual greed, etc. In doing so he is actually promoting the creation of new markets, and hence perpetuating the same old problems in a new guise. New markets will follow the same patterns as the old ones because the core problem of corporate governance is never addressed."

Patrick Stewart said “Jean-Luc Picard would have voted Remain”
of course he would, he’s “a space cadet”.

I rather liked this article. Covered many points in an honest way

“All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.”
