You just know that over here, there will be an inquiry and a family will possibly end up suing, and winning, compensation from LUL, the driver or maybe the security guard/s for scaring them and making them panic... You think that the UK is *more* nannyish and litigious than the US? That's an impressive disconnect from reality. In real life, there will not be an enquiry, nobody will sue anyone and no compensation will be awarded - I'd happily bet £500 on that, if anyone's up for it. Despite occasional Political Correctness Gone Mad rants in the Daily Wail, it is simply not the case in the UK that criminals are awarded compensation for the injuries they acquire during their crimes. I do wonder why these Daily Mail eternely bitter souls knowingly make things up for their rants, are they just simply deluded, is their life so crap that making things up to complain about means they shift blame for their situation onto non-existant others rather than themselves. Interesting that he uses the term "do good" as an insult, perhaps starting to "do good" themself would cheer them up and mean they can stop being so miserable. |
