£200,000,000 and 12 years, WTF?

I know we have to go through these things but surely please surely we do not need to spend this kind of money which, basically just lines lawyers' pockets. Would have been better to just plead the obvious and reserving the £200m for the claims that surely will be forthcoming.

Yes, can you just imagine if Gordon Broon was still PM, breaking out into his rictus grin 1/2 way through the speech

Very interesting to hear Martin McGuinness pontificating and he was there with a machine gun, but did not fire it

Will we now run up similar costs on enquiries into British troops 'shot illegally' in N Ireland?

We'll the McGuinness story is all alleged don't forget.

The whole thing was a complete and utter waste of time, money, effort and ink.
Its pointless - albeit £191 million pounds pointless because all it says is x number of people were innocent (lets face it we all pretty much knew that anyway)

The 30million word documents will come in handy in winter time I'd suppose for some heat

Apparently one lawyer made £4 million out of the job!

The McGuinness incident is actually in the report. Not alleged.

McGuinness said on the news last night that him and the IRA had locked all the weapons away on the day of the protest. What a load of bollox!

Too right, McGuinness the smirking clown, and Adams the bearded clam. Couple of more horrible conts you could never hope to meet.

I know that Les decided to not run me through the logic of his argument, so are you going to?

So let assume I've not 'watched TV or talked to anyone about current affairs' and go for your life and tell me what I've missed

Quite right Martin, I just could not be bothered to be honest. Dave has indicated a good enough reason.

As I said before, you are entirely predictable!
