    Ok, humour me please.

    Lets take the current financial situation. Greed drove many financial instutions into bankruptcy/insolvency that has resulted in a major economic slump.

    That slump has caused massive hardship to millions. I some case this hardship has resulted in the loss of life.

    If you have the death penalty, should’nt those people that caused the economic slump be convicted and then executed.

    Just a thought……….

    Old Shape, would really like to buy you a beer, enjoy your company and discuss long into the night.

    The analogy, not well explained on my behalf but in a nutshell. The state itself is responsible for many deaths of its citizens. One rule for the rich and connected, one rule for the poor.

    Twas ever thus and I really wish it wasnt.

    You are quite right. It is a truely dreadful thing that I wrote. It goes against all my ideals.

    I quite liked Major, thought his heart was in the right place.

    I take it back.

    However I really do honestly believe that she did some truely dreadful things.

    Pray tell what are your comments based on? Have you worked for the company? Have you visited HQ, flown in the aircraft, spoke to crew.

    Please enlighten us. Who do you know in management and what specific management errors have been made.

    Looking forward to your reasoned reply with specific details of GSM management errors.

    I say again, their are jobs and lively hoods at risk here. Please lets not waste time on silly speculation made by a disenfranchised jurno who probably didnt get a free drink onboard.

    This piece and it’s author seem well summed up by a quote from Macbeth

    “A poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.”

    I stole the Macbeth quote from pprune. I thought it was excellent.

    GSM me thinks will be around for a long time yet.

    Hi Old Shape

    Sorry if in any way I miss represented your comments or thoughts.

    However, we live in a very corrupt world. That includes the police and legal system. The current legal system has more holes than a tea bag and access to justice in the UK only exists if you have money.

    If a UK computer guy can hack the American military computers, millions of people can falisfy evidence.

    Poor innocent people would die, rich guilty people would get off. At has always been thus.

    You cannot guarantee an infalable system, without it innocent people will die. Therefore, the death penalty must not exist.

    Just a thought from a life long Manchester United fan…..what should have happend to the police officers in charge at Hilsborough ? (alledgedly…).

    Retired ????

    Say no more…………..and believe me I don’t like Liverpool FC at all (even though Steve Highway and Ian Callaghan have always been favourites of mine !) .

    Cheers !

    OP

    You can never trust a life to a jury.

    Take a look in your local or on the high street, would you really trust your life in their hands……………freightning.

    As for killing people first, then sorting out the system ????

    Never let the genie out of the bottle.

    As for forensic evidence being indisputable, these days the authorities have dna records, what would it take to simply plant a small piece of dna. The copper gets a big pay off and perhaps YOU go to the gallows.

    Believe me it would happen.

    Never……..

    How many innocent people would the state have killed, the Birmingham 5, Stefan Kishco etc, etc.

    Lets concentrate on a having a fair legal system first. In my humble opinion, you only get “justice” if you can afford it these days .
