I may be behind the times but I see the DJs involved have been crying crocodile tears (probably told by their publicist) in a Sky interview.
Or am I too sceptical?

Then when/if they do, hazaaar!! The Sun has another front page headline.
Vicious circle all orchestrated for the selling of newspapers IMHO.
But I still think the Germans were involved

May be she was just so embarresed, I don't know.
What I am saying is that if the call hadn't been made, the chances are that she would still be a live today.

Whether you like it or not, the Aussy DJ's contributed to her death. End of.
Yes, she may have had issues that already existed, but everyone has a limit. This was hers I guess.

One thing I've noticed about this whole affair is nobody is asking what the hospital management said to this nurse after the recording was aired 
You can bet it wasn't anything good

No it isn't. Les was questioning my comments regarding her death being connected with the phone prank. It isn't rocket science.

A thousand other people could have taken that prank call and not committed suicide so how is it anything to do with the DJs other than circumstance?
If you really want to root around for someone else to blame (in true modern society fashion) then look at the press reaction to the prank... but even then it isn't realy their fault either!

It isn't rocket science you're right, yet you still seem unable to grasp the situation with any form of logic. You're blaming the bridge builder not the factors that drove the person to jump off said bridge.

She was a medical professional, who was duped into breaching patient confidentiality for a few cheap laughs.
Because it involves the Royal family it is all over the papers.
She can quite easily expect to be disciplined at work and expect to end up before her professional body with a view to determining if she is fit to practice.
There are perhaps a few cultural issues that we may be unaware of when it comes to people from her neck of the woods working away from home.
It was just a stupid poorly thought out prank, that was always going to cause problems for the recipient if it was successful.
And so it goes.
ps I thought the apologies of the DJs had something of the spoof about them - was pretty hard to keep a straight face watching that.

I'm not so sure.

Strikes me it is yet another example of the blame culture we have these days. Perosnally I think pranks like that are stupid, but even I have trouble attributing any direct blame on the DJs involved! As said a thousand other people could have had the prank played on them and not taken their own life! The press and all who take notice of it are looking for blame in all the wrong places IMO!

OK let me ask you this. If it was such a bad, ill thought out prank how come no one condemend it BEFORE the nurse died? Even Prince Charles joked about it!

I am glad to see you do not consider yourself among them.
It is interesting to look at the "blame culture" aspect of this, because it is also a good example of peoples wish to avoid personal responsibility for the consequences of their own actions.
All very "An Inspector Calls".

I think you are way off the mark which is surprising coming from you who claims to understand and promote our multicultural environment and is able to play the racist card and label people as racist at the drop of a hat.
Surely you must realise that people from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds are affected in different ways by different events.
This lady, having been cruelly duped may have experienced an incredible sense of failure, low self-worth or self-esteem leading to depression that she was unable to recover from.
Us Brits seem to have the capability of making light and seeing the bright side in any situation, sometimes even tragic situations. Some cultures are not like that particularly people from differing cultures struggling to make a life for themselves and their families in this country.

I think the DJ's probably do genuinely feel very sorry but to be fair it was a wind up, it is what DJ's do and generally people dont kill themselves, she must have had issues anyway as well balanced people dont commit suicide for a silly wind up, they can be very embarassed but that in itself isnt grounds for suicide, Paedos get outed which is a one way trip to being a complete pariah in society, getting caught out like that, as a joke, most people would sympathise as we all know we have the potential for it to happen to us.
Almost feels like the nurse had a fit of pique and topped herself to get back at the DJ's, the management and anyone who laughed.
Imagine if Pete topped himself every time someone took the **** !

Very sad, but at end of day it was a prank call, there is probablly thousands made on air everyday and we all get a good laugh at hearing them, but then something like this happens..
The woman obviously had some other underlying issues and the prank call was just a triggering point,
She only put the call through to the other Nurse, who went and gave all the info out, so if anyone was going to feel bad, surely it would have been the 2nd nurse.
