Camelot should help bomb victims After the horror of the Omagh terror bombing, what now?

Will the people arrested be brought to trial and if found guilty be appropriately punished, or given just a few years in jail then released with a golden handshake to rehabilitate themselves as has happened recently with the release of other terrorist murderers?

Funny thing, justice, isn't it? They should suffer as their victims suffered. A life for a life, an eye for an eye. Failing that, solitary confinement for life -- which should mean life too.

Here now is a great chance for the lottery to do something really worthwhile. Donate a week's money, paid equally, to all the victims and their families.

Sadly it will not bring back those who have died, but it will pay all funeral expenses and also compensate in some small way, those who have lost their breadwinners and those who have lost members of their families. Also it will provide help to those who have been injured, those who have been maimed for life and who will need medical and all kinds of physiotherapy probably for the rest of their lives.

So, what about it Camelot? Show all of us punters that you can give away our money to someone and something that is really worthwhile and deservedly so.
