    corporate manslaughter has implications that affect almost anyone involved in management.
    Because we now basically exist in a culture where everything must be blamed on someone, accidents in the literal sense have ceased to happen, we now have incidents where procedure has broken down.
    Now this wouldn’t be such a bad thing if we lived in a perfect World but put yourself in the position where many people now find themselves in the working World where they’re underfunded and doing two peoples work.
    Something as simple as missing piece of paper could land that person in court.

    This culture is going to get worse in the future–much worse.
    Legislation will increase, not decrease in the workplace.

    I recently joined an organisation dedicated to imposing new rules on working electricians.
    Quite an eye-opener really.
    Cheers

    Mark.
    Hope you have a great day.
    Have a few of those funny Belgian beers.
    Got introduced to one at the weekend–comes in a funny glass.
    Cheers

    Robbo, Peter et al.
    Not CGW but a Wright biplane around the pylons at Rheims I think.
    Now that’s got to be fifty feet. :rolleyes:

    I confess I lifted it off that site but it’s a such a great picture.

    Cheers

    Well our own Prime Minister is responsible for the death of thousands. I think that makes him substantially more vile.

    Each of those people denied a life of their own; denied the chance to have children of their own; those children denied lives, and the chance to have children of their own… on and on.

    Murder is far, far, more vile a crime than any other.

    Hi D
    I agree that murder is pretty horific but so too in it’s own insidious way is taking the innocence of a child.
    And of course it’s often self perpetuating–the molested becoming the molester later in life.

    People like King really do I suspect believe there’s nothing wrong in what they do.

    Mind you, politicians don’t think they’re doing anything wrong either.

    Discuss, please.
    Bedtime here in the AiB household after a tiring day at the Government quango.

    Just finished ‘Flying Witness’.
    Very good it is too.
    So much of what happened back then has really almost been forgotten.

    The August 1909 meeting at Rheims must have been something almost beyond our imagination to have seen.
    For more I recomend here….

    Enjoy.

    PS. Can we have a bit more early aviation and Great War content?–Please.
    I love Spitfires, Mustangs, Legends, etc, etc, but all day every day gets tedious.

    you’re young, enthusiastic and a little un-schooled in the art of diplomacy.
    At your age, neither was I.
    Some people here still haven’t learned the skill and they’re a lot older than you are now.
    It’ll come as you age.

    You’ll be glad to know the menu did have “Egg Flied Mice”…

    Better than Flied Lice…. 😉

    Hi
    once ate with Mrs AiB in a restaurant in Crete that had a visiting rat.
    We nick-named him Manos.
    Despite the rat, the food was bl**dy lovely and we went back a few more times to see Manos.

    I once stayed on the Isle of Sh*ite (oh sorry Wight) and stayed in what was supposed to be the best hotel in Cowes.
    A complete sh*t-hole.
    Slug salad was on the menu, not once but twice.
    Puts the punters off a bit.
    I want to say it was called the Holmwood (sorry Dave) and I think it was a Best Western.
    I imagine it was the only hotel in Cowes, which is the only way it could ever be considered the best at anything.

    I spent a jolly winter in travelling backwards and forwards to that god-forsaken patch of land and have never needed (thankfully) to return.

    The “man” indeed thinks he’s done nothing wrong…

    Utter sicko.

    I love the way these people attempt to plant doubt in the mind of the public that the courts are wrong in some way.
    Doesn’t wash with me.

    Is there a more vile and repellent man than Jonathan King?

    http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40971000/jpg/_40971851_kingout2_203grab.jpg

    I do sincerely hope he was buggered to within an inch of his wretched little life in prison.

    Hi Dan
    in answer to your question–unlikely I’d have thought.
    Humility is lost on these people.
    The old adage about no such thing as bad publicity certainly seems to be a factor in Mr King’s thinking.

    Probably doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong.
    Cheers

    PS We’ve got to stop agreeing–people will talk. 😉 😉

    I agree with Andy’s statement (welcome back Andy btw) and I’d like to add, if that is the case, count your blessings.

    Having lost two mates to suicide last year, and suffering from depression as a result myself, it ain’t easy to understand the mind of a depressed person, from the inside or the outside. The last thing most depressed people want is to see a professional and admit defeat.

    Thanks for the welcome back Dave.
    It’s comments like that, that make this forum worth visiting.
    Cheers

    Why didn’t he do the rational thing and seek professional help, it would have saved his family a lot of grief and heartache

    Because when things are that bad you don’t make rational decisions.
    It’s apparent that you have had little experience of mental illness at close quarters.
    Otherwise you’d be inclined to make more measured comments.

    Thanks Steve.
    Excellent effort–you get 10/10 for this.
    I’m sitting at work, extemely moved.
