Thomas Cook abomination

so that poor couple lose both of their young children to carbon monoxide poisoning and receive £350k compensation, while Thomas Cook, who have have been forced to apologise, so some of the blame is on them, have received £3.5m for loss of earnings!

I don't know about you, but something stinks here.

At the end of the day, I think that £350k compensation for the loss of two young children is an insult.

Its not an insult, it will be a calculated fee to cover the costs and maybe go a bit of a way to helping them carry on and try to get through it.

I mean if they got plowed down in the street or killed randomly by another accident would they get compo ?

Obviously money wont fix the loss, if they got 10 million would that make it better?

It is an insult when the courts award someone who has been the victim of racial discrimination and unfair dismissal nearly a million.

The whole compensation structure is buggered to high heaven.

Well said Hikari.

Kept £1.5m for their legal costs.

Yeah, because they daren't pay them out of their own profits.

The fact remains that even with the donation, Thomas Cook have not lost anything financially and still think some half assed apology letter is enough.
