You put the materialistic cost of a few super cars owned by rich people, over the life of a poor bloke who fucked up.
I'd say that's very Tory.
No I don’t because I’d expect the state to have the processes to stop and/or deal with the situation in the first place; the very antithesis of Tory.
Much as I dislike the insurance industry, this is what it’s for, and why we set a minimum level of third party cover. Taiwan sets it too low (just injury) and the guy took a major risk by not insuring for property (especially as he was business driving).
I get that he’s poor and is now relying on charity, but let’s not forget he also put lives in danger; it’s not as simple as “give the poor guy a break”
