It has been announced today that the Australian Radio Station behind the hoax call made to King Edward VII's Hospital has put £320k into a fund for Jacintha Saldanha's children.
A nice gesture you might think, but this actually disgusts me. Apart from the very obvious fact they were in no way responsible for this woman taking her own life, I fear we will now see a raft of suicides so people can get huge payouts like this one from companies.
Say John Smith is in debt and can see no way out of it. He receives a letter from BWFC saying they've cancelled his season ticket because he hasn't kept up with the direct debit payments. He then hangs himself. His family involve the media and before you know it BWFC are handing out money to John Smith's family and all their money problems are over.
Another example. Chris Jones receives a letter from Santander saying his house is going to be repossessed because he hasn't paid his mortgage. He throws himself in front of a train (I don't know which one Mr Amos). His family guilt Santander into paying off the family mortgage.
Where does it end? When did suicide become fashionable?
