[the truth]

tens of thousands of patients die every year from nursing negligence and abuse and barely a word is said....yet this one tragic story of 1 nurse gets thousandsof pages written about it. the whole disaster wasn just due to a tacky nasty prank but to the insatiable tacky greedy 24 hour news and tabloid trash that magnified the pressure and embarassment on this one pressurised person. very sad story, but blame should be shared beteen the pranksters and the media.

People have been doing these as long as telephones have existed. It's a tragedy that she committed suicide, but over the last few years I can remember people getting through to Sarkosy, Sarah Palin, an American governor called Scott Walker, and those are recent ones. No deaths resulted from them.

These people will have to live with this, and that is punishment enough. I don't want to live in a society where people aren't allowed to be stupid from time to time.

Read the interview in the Guardian this morning, quite ironic that she called for the family to be given some privacy don't you think?

Wasn't the prank to see if they could get through? They didn't set out to target this nurse.

No they don't, and using the "bold" function doesn't add gravitas to your point.

I never Claimed it Did

[Kazanne]

I think these two were idiots,just what did they expect to gain?and,to target Kate and William at such a intimate time was just insensitive and all in pursuit of a 'prank' They now have the gall to sob and weep on tele,how terrible life is for them.

I agree that if blame needs to be put anywhere that the Press should bear the brunt of it.

No the Press
are a Function - They did not do the Fecking prank


The 2 DJ's Tipped that nurses world so bad
she wanted death

[AnnieK]

To be honest I feel the attitude to these djs is very sad, there is culpability on so many levels:

1 - the hospital should have had trained staff manning the telephone, especially at the time they have the wife of the future heir to the throne as a patient
2 - as lily said earlier as sad as it is the nurse should not have given out confidential information, she should not have been allowed to cover the phones if she was unaware of the fundamental rules governing patient confidentiality
3 - the Australian radio station and it's legal team. In my mind the djs were pawns in this more than anything, thy will have been told to try the prank etc. the legal team then sanctioned the broadcast.
4 - the press who have since played and replayed and written about it.

I could go on but to then persecute these two people only is ridiculous and smells of scapegoating as far as I am concerned. It's a terrible tragedy but as I said before hindsight is a wonderful thing, this cannot have be foreseen ending this badly.

Guilty of Illegal Prank.


Hackers are going to close the station down
if they return

Why not go the whole hog arista and demand a life for a life!

The hospital messed up but not having a properly trained gatekeeper in situ. Had they done so the DJ's would not have got through as they expected they would not. With a high profile VIP patient they should have had someone to make sure the yapping dogs of the media were held at bay.

Now when it hits the fan, they pass the blame.

No We Ain't Strict Muslims here in England

I never mentioned Islam. In fact the expression, "A life for a life" is actually found in the Old Testament.

But its only Strict Muslims that Demand Life for Life

So thats why I use it.

[Nedusa]

I actually feel sorry for these two radio presenters, made now to cry on cue to save their jobs and probably their careers. The shows producers and the station manager must take the responsibility for this as they would have had final sanctioning on this prank.

To parade these two presenters like this is a bit cheap and insincere, also how could they have possibly known anything like this was going to happen.

Also why is this story dominating the news wires as there are far more pressing serious stories that should be currently in the news not this non story.

BIB - I hardly think that's the case. Obviously, everyone feels for the family most at this time as I have said in previous posts, I personally just feel there is too much persecution going on when there has been failings all way around.

The family must be going through absolute hell...they need the support and thoughts of everyone so this needs to be dealt with privately now so the family can grieve without hearing about it every time they turn on the tv /radio.

I feel nothing but sympathy for the family, and I was quite shocked at the news of the nurses death, but nothing was intended maliciously as far as I am concerned, so why put the DJ's through so much more than they are going through already? They will live with this for the rest of their lives. I would not wish that on anyone. I am sure most of us have laughed at prank calls before, but now, because of a terrible and unfortunate sequence of events, some want to lay the blame at their door. That's a matter of opinion, but I do not think they should be punished. The guilt and regret that they will have to live with is punishment enough.

I doubt the media frenzy around this story is helping the family in their grieving process.
