They spent the best part of a week during the inquest slowly detatching themselves from Al-Fayed’s ramblings, now they’re right back on it. Bizarro World.
I’d almost lost faith in the Express to keep the conspiracy fires burning. Not sure how it fits into the Broken Britain narrative though. Still, just like old times…
The Times printed a good article featuring the QC responsible for this investigation stating why he felt it should have been a murder enquiry. That article was analytical and balanced: from the Express we’ll expect a WE LOVE DIANA! type story.
Oh, on BBC breakfast today they were reviewing the front pages of today’s papers, and the reporter said that according to the Express’ front page story 3/4 of a million people could die of heart disease if they don’t take these pills. It’s probably an advertorial (the Express got a right bollocking from the PCC for failing to distinguish advertorials), and there are plenty of ways to avoid heart disease, like taking regular exercise and eating healthily.
So.. the mail have done a controlled study that proves that the cause of all these deaths is the underprescription of statins?
Or are they just jumping on a bandwagon and ignoring the fact that they aren’t a wonder drug* and doctors will only prescribe them when they might actually do some good?
I know which one I think happened..
* They lower cholesterol. Clearly in many cases that isn’t the cause of their condition so statins would do nothing.
The health service hasn’t yet recovered from nearly 20 years of Tory mismanagement and cuts, how can it be expected to become fit for purpose? They were in since the late 70s, the country has to be rebuilt and now they are on the verge of getting back in again. Never mind statins, pretty soon you will be having to pay thirty quid to see a doctor, let alone have any treatment.
Diana, the future mother of the king, on the verge of marrying a Muslim, did anyone really expect that she would be allowed to live?
Statins aren’t really worth the dosh if your ischemia isn’t caused by hyperlipidaemia; it might slow disease progression but if you have bad coronary artery disease statins ain’t gunna magically make them better.
I’d like to know what they mean by “heart disease,” as 60% of heart failure cases aren’t really caused by ischemia, and ischemia is the only thing you’d use statins to treat anyway.
ALSO: marcs if you believe that then you’re either
A. a conspiracy theorist looney
or
B. such a huge republican that you feel the royal family are not only capable of murder, but indulge in it for nothing less than the slight risk someone might marry someone else.
Oh shit. Here we go again.
Déjà vu.
Two Diana days on the bounce – apparently if you say her name five times in a row she’ll come back to life.
Yay DEAD BLONDE TOP HALF OF THE PAGE!!!!
A new low for the Express.
bloody hell, for a moment there i actually thought it did read “Diana Express”. this is doing my brain no good.
Heart pills scandal? Did Diana die because of that or something?

SHE’S BACK!!

What do the people want? THE TRUTH!
When do we want it? NOW!
God bless ‘The Express’ for its’ continual irrelavance………

Do they give any indication of who murdered her? Are they still aiming at Phil?

St Diana………I blame the economic crisis for them taking her away for so long.
Banks EH

or probably both
Well, historically B. has been true in the past, multiple times. Not sure they’d try it these days though.
Lovely Photoshopped blue eyes there. But…why?
Blue eyes are to distract us from the sugeston she had the jungle fever.
