It sickens me that this guy has been awarded 400k in damages for two cut fingers, when our servicemen and women that gets thier arms/legs blown off whilst serving for our country get a slap in the face.

Im not saying they don't get anything, but what they do get is nowhere near enough, IMHO

Let me get this straight.....

He cut his fingers on a knife somewhere between 6-7 years ago.

He claims he can no longer work due to some syndrome.

He's not HIV positive, nor does he have Hep b

He hasn't worked for 6-7 years.

He's shown on film undertaking activities fo daily living.

Some judge has said that hey thats ok and dropped £400k in his lap.....

First they should kill the bloke, then they should kill the judge.

Again, in an effective neo-feudal system, the scope for such bone idle mischief by the bourgois intelligentsia who populate the legal classes would be negated as errant tykes of this claimant's variety would be put down at once by squirearchial heavy horse. {The beak would be a verger or something equally harmless to society requiring a comparable degree of literary dexterity but without the ability to urinate on society's head.}

a fair summation of events by the look of it. Really have to question who is worse, the cock with the claim or the imbecile handing out the ruling.

for those of you that didn't get that......

In Der's new non demoocratic system, claims like this won't get out of the starting blocks. Instead people who try it on will be put down. Judges and the legal profession will become simple servants to the local lord, giving advice, but unable to pass judgement.
The law of common sense will prevail.

ETa, At least i think that's what he said.

It does make piss boil when Army troops are losing limbs and getting meagre payouts for being maimed for life.
