Was it a rollover?
I think we may have learned that one doesn't have to be a boozer to make a fool of oneself now and then. Bring back TGM, he was a great poster  |

call me a taxi 14 Sep 14 12:26
Her family have got a $500,000 (£278million) handout from the radio station. Which means they have accepted the blame for her doing it. Facts [b]22:01 In your pitiful post, that has been removed.[/b] ebulgery 19:48 To blame the victims family is well OTT call me a taxi Where does it day that? Do you and ebulgery have problems reading English? Try reading it like this, you pair of morons: Her family have got a $500,000 (£278million) handout from the radio station. Which means they have accepted the blame for her doing it. The radio station believed they were at fault, so they coughed up. If the radio station thought it was the parents fault, why would they stump up a 6 figure sum? To clarify, I posted that the radio station blamed themselves. And you Facts, posted at 12:08 I see one of cmat's repulsive posts on this thread have been removed by the moderators. That should be 'has' btw - singular post. Yet ebulgery didn't arrive until 7 hours and 40 minutes later, and it was him, not you, that I asked 'Where does it say that?' He was obviously referring to the opening post, as the post you refer to was removed a long while before he got here. |

I think Taxi is being rather harsh, obviously he gains encouragement from the wife killer Crippen. |

actually I doubt they did, but you need some intelligence to see that the actions of their dj's triggered this, but they would not have forseen the result sorry I did not arrive until 7 hours 40 mins late...I dot spend my entire life on this forum even if it may seem so |
|
By:
Also your assumption that the family had some sort of result
because their own daughter committed suicide does not say much for your own values taxi  the term not the full ticket, does not say a lot for your either other than you are extremely ignorant |

I feel sorry for the Australian djs.

This type of response would have magnified the nurses state of mind.
A source added: “There is a lot of anger about this. Prince William was said to be furious when he found out. “Kate is vulnerable and weak at the moment and these people think it’s funny to make a joke out of it?” plus The Queen’s former press secretary Dickie Arbiter warned there would be “fireworks” at the Palace over the hoax call made to the King Edward VII Hospital. He added: “This is a shocking breach of security. “The Royal Family have been clients of the King Edward VII for many, many years and it beggars belief that a member of the public could call up and obtain details of the duchess’s medical condition in this way. “Where on earth were the checks and balances? "The hospital will be livid at what has happened and I am sure the Palace will be demanding answers.” |

Yes one wonders how much blame was placed on the nurse, Angel.
She had been hoaxed, she was a victim herself, hmm??????????? I think the dj's would have been shocked and upset at what happened, and will always carry some remorse over what happened. Although they cannot be blamed for her death, it was unforeseen. Although if one embarrasses and humiliates people for public entertainment, happens on our TV a lot, who knows how some people will react? I think the radio station themselves would feel some remorse, although again not to blame. Also I hardly think they would like to be known 'as the radio station that kills people', would they? Their payment was appropriate for their own remorse and commercial reasons. But I think the judgment was correct, the nurses own depression killed her. |
|
By:
so I am agreeing with lfc1971 over the djs.
|
|
By:
The Royals should have realised whoever breached the protocol would be globally in the spotlight once information was released.
And the nurse herself would be extremely anxious, of course they could not predict suicide but much more could have done to lessen the seriousness of what the poor nurse had done. She was fooled that was all. |
|
By:
Yes the dj`s where having a laugh, the Royals could have made light of it but implemented changes internally with the spotlight being on the nurse. William could have put an arm around her and told her not to worry because they all like a touch of humour.

I totally agree with you Angel and moneytree
If there was a security lapse, that was the security personnel's fault not the switchboard operator The payment from the Radio Station was appropriate and a good gesture, an apology |
|
By:
nobody meant this to happen
|
|
By:
If there was any blame here, surely it must be the Royal's own security
They should have foreseen this happening, I doubt it is the only time anybody has ever tried this There should have been a security code, intermediary, whatever to deal this The switchboard operator was an innocent victim, but her depression exaggerating it, she took the blame on herself. One wonders what was said...hmm., but maybe it could not be helped, an unfortunate coincidence of events It happens in life |

The plot thickens...
From the wiki page about her Saldanha had reportedly attempted suicide twice before. She had taken an overdose of pills on 30 December 2011 during a family trip to India. After that attempt she was rushed to a private hospital in Mangalore and treated for "self harm". On 8 January 2012 she is believed to have attempted suicide again and was treated at Father Muller Medical College Hospital for head injuries suffered in a "fall". After several days in intensive care Saldanha was admitted to the hospital's psychiatric ward and treated for depression. She was discharged after three days and given a nine-month course of anti-depressants. Her family was warned there was a risk that she might attempt suicide again From the Telegraph The inquest heard on Thursday that Mrs Saldanha had shown no previous signs of mental illness or depression. ^^^^ Somebody is telling porkies She lived in Bristol, why was Keith Vaz involved, he’s the MP for Leicester? Then the nutters appeared: . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2246995/Morrissey-Anti-monarchist-blames-Duchess-Cambridge-death-hoax-nurse-Jacintha-Saldanha.html . http://the-tap.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/was-nurse-killed.html . http://claireevans.hubpages.com/hub/DJ-Royal-Hoax-Nurse-Saldanha-was-murdered |

Yes i noticed the contradictions with wiki and what the husband said Taxi.
Benedict Barboza told the hearing his "beloved" wife, Jacintha Saldanha, was a "bubbly, loving and caring" woman with no history of psychiatric illness. He said she had never attempted suicide before and had not mentioned the hoax call in their conversations. |
|
By:
Perhaps he needs to update wiki, and find out who entered the contradicting stories
|
|
By:
To be fair, it seems as though her brother is the source of information regarding previous mental issues, but it does seem odd her husband flatly states that she had no previous mental issues.
|
|
By:
And why was Vaz involved?
|
|
By:
And why is that any business of yours?
Were you going to take a time-out from seething and offer your help and support to the family? |
|
By:
Keep seething boy
|
|
By:
And why is that any business of yours.
Because Vaz is a public servant, and anything he does in his job is the business of all of us. |

Next time, I'll get him to ask for your permission first.

By:
What is wrong with you people? - this poor girl was obviously vunerable and weak at the time this occurred, she is not the first and won't be the last - as for blame - for goodness sake .....nobody has broken the law - it was a prank....happens everyday doesn't it? - regarding the payout - it was a gesture of goodwill (what else could they do?) .....nobody in their right mind would consider it 'compensation'..... Never in a million years. There are some very sinister, sick people on this forum ........hope that dosn't include you! Tragic event - it happens. 'We' can move on - doubt her family will find it quite as easy.
