The World and his Pals v. Al Fayed

The Jury in the Coroners inquest into the death of Diana and Dodi put a full stop at the end of what must the final chapter in this saga. As a country, as a world, I think we are done on the subject. I am not sure about Al Fayed though. Despite the fact that he said under oath that he would accept the verdict, I don’t think he does or will.

The problem is that he is surrounded by ‘yes’ men and women who can’t say no to the man. Fair enough perhaps, he is the boss after all and quite a powerful one at that; however you’d think he’d have a single friend amongst all the people who surround him who would be able to talk to him rationally and honestly about his beliefs. Maybe this is what they mean when they say it’s lonely at the top. If being at the top means that nobody around you will stop you from making a fool of yourself when you are vulnerable and alone then I’ve got to say that I’m quite happy being more towards the other end.

I hope perhaps for his sake that his slick PR machine which has slithered all over the press since the verdict, will perhaps see the benefits of promoting acceptance from a commercial point of view if not from a personal one at this time. If it is put in a commercial context then perhaps the man will begin to see reason, otherwise he will be destined to continue his crusade until either he or the establishment is crushed. I know who I’d put my money on and it’s not made in the Middle East.

Giant Full Stop Next to the Diana Theories Please.

Lord Justice Scott Baker, the coroner in charge of the latest inquest into the death of Diana has delivererd his direction to the jury. The possibilities for the jury are; unlawful killing through gross negligence either by Henri Paul, by "following vehicles" or by both, accidental death or an open verdict if the jury feels there is insufficient evidence to support any substantive verdict.

To the probable dismay of Mohammed Al Fayed, the jury cannot find that Diana and Dodi were unlawfully killed in a staged accident because there is no evidence. So this means that his rantings have fallen the wrong side of the British legal system yet again as far as he's concerned.

I have to say that I hope that this is the end of it. I'm sick to death of hearing the poisoned little Arab accusing our Royal family of murder in the country that won't give him a passport. I think as the British public, we should demand that as a foreigner, he should be handed the legal bill for the farce he has exploited at every stage. I think we should also recommend a good psychologist to help him with his severe paranoia. I finally think that we should recommend him an ally in Robert Mugabe. I think they would make a lovely pair.

This has been done to death now but it is time that it was over, that we drew a line under it. Let the poor bloody woman and the others rest in peace finally and lets stop wasting everybody's time, money and effort because all that is really happening is that lawyers are getting rich. Even if there was something dodgy, we're never going to appreciate or know anything about it anyway, Freedom of Information Act or not.
