It's just been announced on the news that the families of victims of the London bombings are to get £11,000 in compensation for the loss life.

How was this figure arrived at, and how on earth can you be compensated by such a measly figure?

It seems such a low figure to base a persons life on, especially when compared to the massive figures which have been awarded in libel cases in the last couple of years.

I bet they'd much rather have their loved ones back. I'd tell them to stick it.
