They've had six f'ing years to come up with compensation and all they get is sorry?

[@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095]

Maybe they wanted compensation etc to be Labour's problem? {:o:O:}

[@lynby6231]

Sunak sees an election coming and suddenly changes his tune about compensation. They’re absolutely pathetic, if there wasn’t an election looming, he’d still be dithering over an apology.

[@neosapien247]

It has been reported that the dead arose after Sunak's heartfelt apology. Now all they need is the compensation to shake it all off. Name names. Convict and imprison the culprits - whoever is left from those days. Apologies are worthless.

[@cmasseylynch]

saying sorry does not change a corrupt system

[@csharpe5787]

Why did we need so many investigations? We all know what happened, the victims should not have had to wait for these reports.

When do the prosecutions begin. Both Labour & Tories need to be held to account. Both sides say it must never happen again, yet look at Covid-19 and the mRNA vaccines. Only recently has it been revealed by the Scottish Covid-19 enquiry that people were being pressured to accept DNR.
