An equitable compensation for an injury
NOT... From jolly olde England and the
Daily Mail:
Soldier fury as MoD civil servant paid �202,000 compensation for office injury
A ministry of Defence civil servant who developed back problems after lifting a printer has been paid an astonishing �202,000 compensation.
In contrast, soldier Jamie Cooper, 19, who lost the use of a leg and a hand in a mortar attack in Basra, has only received a lump sum of �57,000.
The disparity in compensation payouts is the latest indication that troops who risk their lives in wars for Britain are not being treated fairly.
Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox said some payments made to injured veterans were "completely heartless".
Sad to see a once-great nation fail from within. Socialism has never worked. The government will always suffer from corruption so the less of it, the better.
