    Charlotte Church: 'brave family'

    I'm working for an international group today and so didn't make it to the High Court to see Ms Church's celebration speech -the world doesn't really care about a tubby Welsh Singer who apparently sold her soul to Murdoch at the beginning of her career. (in lieu of payment for a gig she got endless PR from his papers).
    She's 'won' £600,000 for what? losing a limb, an eye? No.... someone listened to her phone messages.

    Apparently her family showed geat bravery during the case. This sort of crap from her lawyers is simply de-valuing the word 'Brave.'

    What the family in fact did was to hold out for the biggest payment possible.

    SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS - think about it.

    They're insured against this sort of action.

    Yep - less than the maximum compensation for double amputee WIA. Great perspective innit?

    I'll bet it's eye-wateringly expensive insurance though.

    True, and who pays the extra premiums as the Insurance companies hike their premiums?
    Warning, this post contains some flash photography.

    Then it will cost them more in the future. Her nationality, size, family and choice of words are neither here or there. The papers did the wrong thing. End of.
    I'll be glad when I've chopped this bloody carrot!

    I think it is more of a worry that NI can start another paper without any problems, they should have been stopped until at least the inquiry is finished.
    I don't care if you hate me, I don't live to fucking please you.

    Your God was nailed to a cross, My God has a hammer! Questions??
