Nurse "Suicide".....

[frankthring]

David Johnson and the wonderfully named Cuntybollocks speak common
sense. This is a terrible tragedy but to try and develop it into some major
conspiracy is daft in the extreme.

What pressure? More like crushing embarrassment, coupled with who knows what else in the way of personal issues. With regards to 'dark forces at work' we only have the word of Paul Burrell that Her Madge actually said the phrase. Personally I wouldn't put too much credence on anything Burrell says. After all, having said many times that HMQ had said 'dark' he later denied she said the word at all. As for getting Nicholas Gardiner to preside over her inquest, why not? He did a perfectly proper job on the Kelly affair, as anyone who doesn't imagine some secret cabal behind every death would agree.

My mistake - that unique occurence of a Public Inquiry not Inquest. Gardiner's friend Nicholas Hunt did well didn't he ? Such honest chaps.

Given the negative opinions about the royal family on these forums Im surprised half of you anti royalists havent met these dark forces at work yet LOL

Come on guys this is the real world. I can buy the crushing embarrassement laidened with personal problems at this time of the year, depresssion etc couldve compounded a decision to take her own life.

This is that time of the year where most sad things happen after all

Has there been any intrest taken into looking what the hospital did as I can't help thinking that they would have been ready to throw disciplinary action against her especially being a private hospital (don't expect those royals to go NHS).

And now we have the radio presenters being hounded and being driven to the sege of sanity for a prank. They will have to live with the guilt of someone's death which is bad enough.

In essence if there's blame I think it should levelled at he hospital.

[Gentleman]

Oh and of course the media were they lurking on her doorstep 24/7?

[Toliverwist]

A triumph of frequency modulated infantilism over sober professional integrity.

Do you remember when Vaz took up the case of Shilpa Shetty, the Indian actress who was in Big Brother and was 'racially abused'? Vaz was immediately on the case, talking about the issue on TV, inviting her for a tour of the House Of Commons, arranging for her to meet the then PM Gordon Brown. Now he is on TV talking about the family of the nurse who killed herself, how he is going to be meeting the family, how the family is not getting as much counselling as the Australian DJ's apparently are, and so on. I remember during the Shilpa Shetty episode asking myself whether Vaz would have been as interested in it all had Shilpa been Japanese or Mexican. I wonder if he would be as interested in the case of the nurse if she had been from Iceland or from Fiji. Somehow I doubt it. Good to know racism is alive and well, isn't it...

Why see racism where none exists? Vaz, though born in Aden, is of Indian parentage. Hence, he has a shared background to both Shilpa Shetty and Jacintha Saldanha. Had the poor woman come from Iceland I'm sure there would have been loads of people taking up the Vaz role, without you suggesting racism.
