Is it?

I thought when hearing this on the news it was 'news', but apparently this was over 2 years ago when he was held in Belmarsh?

More waste of money which we apparently keep being told we don't have.

Can't he be given to a Uni for research into finding the top speed a human can cross the M25 during rush hour, or when the most juggernauts are travelling?
The research programme would not cost too much and hopefully wouldn't last too long either.

Sadly, things like this no longer surprise me and him getting a pay out won't either.

This World of ours isn't a just place.

I would say I despair but I've lived long enough that I don't anymore. I'm resigned and I hate it.

F**k him. He should have been hanged.
I am beginning to consider whether terrorism should be considered high treason and capital punishment be reinstated. It's tempting, until you consider he's probably not enjoying his stay at HMP.
I get that. Plus he can't be a martyr which will make him even more upset. But f**k him all the same. His claim should not have even reached the world outside his sad filthy little cell as far as i am concerned. To be honest if the law had been able to turn up and use lethal force on him and his feckless loser mate then it would have suited me.

Where's the cut off? Any particular religions we should single out? Any racial groups? How much of a scumbag do you need to be? Do we not pay out to 3.14lockopeners? What about "promising footballers" & "Aintree Ladies"?

What you're talking about is double jeopardy, and that's not how we do things, nor if we start doing it is it a country I want to be part of.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather he'd committed suicide by cop but he didn't and we prosecuted him as required by our laws and culture. He was properly (as in in accordance with that process) found guilty by a jury of his peers and he is serving his time. That doesn't mean any screw can give him a shoeing and expect to get away with it, nor does it mean that we shouldn't treat him the same as we treat any other subject of the crown. Because if it did we would be no worse than ISIS.

I actually think the Home Office / Prison Service doubt that they can win a civil case and are raising the prospect of a payout to poison the jury. If so, shame on them, we need to be better than ISIS to win the moral war.
Utter balderdash, if he hadn't kicked off he'd still have his teeth.

The 'scum still have ooman rights' attitude is wrong and needs to be put back in it's box.

If you can't do the time don't do the crime.

It isn't. Double jeopardy is framing somebody for your murder which didn't happen, then when they are released from and extract revenge by murdering you, they can't be tried again.

IMO it is simple, those who choose to break the law, should not expect to be protected or compensated by the law.

I break the speed limit, so you're allowed to burgle my house? I nick a traffic cone, so you're allowed to punch me in the face?

Doesn't really make sense, does it?

This is the correct answer. Another reason to leave the EU and ECHR (and anything else that gets in the way).

Well he wouldn't be in prison if he hadn't committed the crime.
Therefore any compensation is "Proceeds of Criminal activity" smile

Take it off him

well they're not really comparable crimes you've suggested there now are they

you realise him and his buddy actually murdered someone?

loss of a couple of teeth comes somewhere below being murdered I'd say.

Whenever he 'makes' any money, it should be handed over to the relative's of Lee.

Even the few pence he makes from sowing mailbags.

Except as has been said, they were not negligent in carrying out their duty, made harder by said current scumbag kicking off, bringing about the need to use force.

Would be helpful (for once) if some ambulance chaser lawyer would now sue the scumbag for the death of Lee Rigby so that any compensation and subsequent compensation claims for shoeings and teeth compo deserved or undeserved goes straight out to the Rigby family.

No sympathy for the scumbag at all. Should have hung.

I mean he is a scumbag and is locked up, so he gets nothing, negligence or not.

You pays your money and takes your choice, IME and he made his choice.

The point is he is the one who kicked off. Would he have lost his teeth if he didn't kick off? No. Did the staff follow protocol in restraining a violent prisoner? Yes. Does he deserve a single penny? No.

I don't believe anything else needs saying...
