Deimos Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 MI6 agent working for HRH with a "contract" on his son. Seems that Harrods now only has to provethat link and its all “sorted”.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 What a silly verdict! To find that she was 'unlawfully killed' is to suggest that someone intended to kill her, as opposed to her merely dying in a banal traffic accident. If Henri Paul hadn't been ordered to drive when he was off duty and had had a drink or two, things might have been different. And now the media in the UK are bleating on about who 'might be charged with manslaughter'. Why not charge Mohammed al Fayed - he gave the order? And what about Diana's reckless failure to use her seatbelt? If she had put it on she would probably have survived. The simple answer is - nobody will be charged with anything. The accident happened on French soil and has been dealt with under French law. The English courts can do nothing. The papparazzi have been examined, but not charged - and they never will be, because there is no evidence of criminal activity. Now, can we all just shut up about it and move on?M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think most people would have 'moved on' ages ago if it hadn't been for Mohammed al Fayed and the newspapers who keep profiting from this stuff.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 al Fayed is a puffed up deluded pillock who's never got over the loss of face by being denied a British passport and clearly still thinks things in UK work the same as in his native Egypt.

Russethouse Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Al Fayed lost his son, my own opinion is that he feels guilty Henri Paul was his employee, he sanctioned the change of route against the wishes of the bodyguards he employed.As for the safety belt issue, I think I am right in saying that it was common for people under protection not to wear them, to allow for speedy entry and exit of the car?If I lost my child I'd want to know I had done everything possible to find out what had happened etc - would any of you feel differently ?

[/quote]I had the impression from the reports that Mr Al Fayed wasnot so much interested in finding out what happened but rather he had decidedwhat happened and wanted the guilty parties (HRH and security services) foundguilty. I had the impression there waslittle enquiry on his part but rather trying to prove what he had concludedwithout evidence.But then maybe the papers presented his actions in an unfairlight ?Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceni Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 The driver was drunk and exceeding the speed limit, the 2 passengers chose not to wear seatbelts but all this was known a loooong time ago. I don't see that anything has been achieved in holding this inquest 10 years after the event - other than wasting a vast of amount of taxpayers money.People are dead, not lost, but Al Fayed and the conspiracy theorists won't allow the subject to go away, just remember JFK.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Find Tom Boyer's book "Fayed".You might see Fayed and his son in a rather different light!Despite Fayed running off to court and seeking injunctions, it was eventually released here; published earlier in the USA.
