Offer MP's a 5.5% pay rise, and like magic its done and dusted, something important to us drags on for years ? We really are this stupid eh

[alangreenley]

sorry seems to be the hardest word, years too late" should never have happend in the first place, saying sorry is no good when these innocent people are dead, how can people trust governments after this horrific scandal

[garybjorkelund]

This government are not sorry to the population they have failed
Poverty
Immigration huge problem
Highest taxes ever
Working people are crippling

[algie-tw]

No. There is another word: Prosecution.

Saying sorry doesn't make it magically better but hearing both sides of the UK gov say sorry shows the peoeple affected that they were right all along. Their fight was true and just, they were lied to and killed in their thousands but this shows that they were right about everything.

hardest word to say...and they don't mean it

[krishurlburt]

This cover-up goes deep. People dont just drop like flies without someone taking note.

[AndrogyneMichinaga]

In the words of Andy Burnham "There has been a criminal cover-up on an industrial scale."

[nsbtiom]

put blair, brown and sunak to jail. sorry not enough to many victims of their failure.

[mrmeldrew]

Well, that's fine then.
Another example of red and blue being IDENTICAL when it comes to protecting the interests of our people.
Imagine saying sorry like it means something at this point.

[hughjohns]

Like saying "sorry" makes everything ok, as usual. People use "sorry" as a get out of jail card, it would be better if the word just did not exist.

[stephenholmes]

They have ALL known about this from 1973, World in Action did a 2 part documentary in 1975.
How many have died?

[derekwhite]

Just cut this crap out and help me with recovering now I've got rid of the HCV!

[clairemcmahon]

Let’s hope the people aren’t made to jump through hoops to get the compensation they deserve. They need that Money NOW!

[cisum]

Never trust the government I’m also losing faith in the nhs as well since hearing this thinking they all have our best interests at heart this is outrage

[Ukipmiddleleft]

Sorry?

Christ is there any alternative to this disgraced two party system

[thumbsocial]

People don't vote for "stability" .. for god's sake bring a bit of hope

[MrRourk]

Why are we letting them geg away with this?
