A rant, a laugh and a quiz or two. Nicely balanced, that's me.

This news report is pissing me off so much. It makes me so angry to think that people are actually complaining that they're loved ones aren't being replaced by enough money. I'm very, very sorry for everyone who was affected by the bombings, and yes, it's very upsetting that people lost their lives, but it's not as if it was the government's fault

I totally agree that the calls for big sums of money are disgusting. The government has already paid out £750,000. If I'd lost a family member in the bombings I'd much rather see three quarters of a million pounds (and that figure will no doubt increase!) go towards additional security for the transport systems.

In wages alone that 750 grand would pay for over 40 newly-qualified officers for a year.

I'm not against them getting money, I mean the 'Crime Compensation Fund' or what ever it's called was always going to get hit hard by people after the bombings but calling for more money is just stupid.
