People should get compensation in money terms, big money terms and forget about society giving them justice by holding someone to account. Society owes those who suffered big time and I think the only practical thing society can do is give money as a way to say sorry. Spending £ millions on legal fees for already fabulously wealthy barristers and advocates makes it even worse IMO.
Ken Clarke is now a peer in the House of Lords and he should be ‘hauled over the coals’ for his decision to ignore concerns by health professionals about using ‘dirty blood’ from America for blood plasma or hemophiliacs.
