Well, I guess the question is.... how much Polonium would you have to smuggle to make it worthwhile ? It'd be easy to smuggle a few grammes, maybe 100 grammes, but is that quantity of any use to anyone ? Maybe you'd need to have quantities of a Kg or more, in which case it'd be harder to smuggle.

As an assassination, this is just wierd. I could believe that it was self-inflicted, but it's still wierd.

If you or 7M would like to find any actual evidence of conspiracy.......

I mean, you're right to question. But question without information is just speculation.

Well you do now...

Just another idle thought about this, pretty much agreeing with what you said.... in pasy years we've had the IRA killing people and doing a lot of damage.... we've got terrible things happening in Iraq... we're suspicious of Iran... we're fighting a war in Afganistan.... not to mention 7/7 and our fear (reasonable or otherwise) of Muslims....

Bottom line... we, the UK are involved and have been involved in some pretty awful stuff. And it's right out there in the open. It's in the news, in the papers. All the time.
Makes me wonder why people tend to focus on unknowable and unprovable Diana theories.

There is a rule under which government secrets are kept from the public for a certain period of time, can't remember how long exactly. It is only when some of the stuff emerges that you begin to realise just how much has been kept from us. There is also a considerable amount of propaganda, some of which was explored in an excellent documentary series called The Power of Nightmares, which investigated how rather than offering us rewards to inspire us, politicians prefer nowadays to frighten us into agreeing with what they do.

crikey i thing i set you lot off putting this post up!!!! interesting reading.

 

[flying_change]

I look forward to being alive when the Diana material emerges from the secret vault.

I dont recall that any of the material emerging recently involved any killing of Royals though.

Might be a close run thing for FC then...

 

[flying_change]

Exactly !

Interesting that no-one is posting about this now that the report is out.

Maybe thats because I don't believe it...ever remember the fella on the motorbike???

She died 10years ago, this sort of thing won't be out until we're long gone. Look at the history of the Royal family from hundreds of years ago, look what went on then, do you think it was common knowledge then? Considering we didn't have newspapers or any kind of media back then either.

F_C what do you think it would do to the country, the royal family, the legal system e.t.c if it came out as murder...get real!

From what I have heard/read, it seems to be much younger people who believe the conspiracy theory. I don't know anyone over the age of about 30 who would buy it.

Mohammed Al Fayed...

TBH, I really don't know what I believe, but there are still many unanswered or unexplained questions.

I watched some of the report being read out today, and was mildly astonished to hear that the report stated that Dodi had definitely instructed the driver to change the route DURING the car journey. Then when asked a more controversial question, he replied that he couldn't answer that because nobody knew what was said once the occupants were inside that car. Eh??

In reality, because the British establishment is so corrupt, there is always going to be suspicion of a cover-up, and tbh, this enquiry was ALWAYS going to find that the deaths were an accident - nobody is surprised by the findings surely?

Total waste of money for a public relations exercise that won't satisfy or silence any of the doubters.

Oh and I'm 43 and although not a conspiricy theorist, I'm certainly a 'doubter'

 

[The Virgin Dubble]

And our soldiers are getting maimed and killed in Iraq because of establisment lies about weapons of mass distruction.

If they can lie in order to send us into an unjustifiable war, then surely they can arrange for a cover up over the deaths of one slightly dippy ex-royal, a muslim and a dodgy french man.

BTW, I'm not saying they DID. I'm just saying that it's not implausible.

Conspiracy theories are born from mistrust...

TBH, looking at it from the point of view of a would-be assassin, this 'accident in the tunnel' method of assassination is pretty doubtful. Just think about it.... assuming that it's not possible to set something up in advance (eg a stinger or roadside bomb), exactly how do you force a car to crash, and be certain that the crash will kill the people you want to target ? If this was an attempted assassionation, it was nearly a failure.... only 2 people were killed outright... one lived for a few hours, and another is still alive today. If I wanted to assassinate someone, a bomb in the car / boat / plane is much more likely to succeed. Let's face it, that's how the IRA did things.

 

[severnmiles]

How would you assainate someone who is constantly followed by the pap and body guards?

 

[KJI_Lover]

Glad Lord Stevens conducted a serious investigation and reached an informed opinion.

Mr Fayed is obviously upset but he does have an axe to grind against the establishment. The reality was Diana was an irrelevance to the Royal Family at that time.

1) Sniper

2) bomb in vehicle

Assuming for a moment that the event in the tunnel wasnt an accident. Do you a) think it was pre-planned (ie someone set some sort of trap in the tunnel), or b) done on the spur of the moment. If b), exactly what do you have to do to make a large heavy Merc have a lethal accident ?
