Can you be a little more specific? Source?

She had to pay for that though through her insurance premiums which reflected the risk. By the way you say careful but that's exactly what Clarkson is arguing for but from the opposite angle.

| Are you not aware that soldiers also pay higher premiums? When I was in, infantry soldier was the most dangerous job in the list, and we had to pay higher premiums than anyone else - with most companies refusing to touch us.

You don't think both are inherently dangerous?

If you prefer, your taxes could pay for his disability benefit instead? Don't think you'd like that though, as it's likely to come to a lot more than 19 bags a year.

Not sure how that's relevant. You said army compensation doesn't take into account how much you'd earned had you stayed in the job for life but it seems to does. That RAF typist you're bleating about and seems to be getting 484,000 but this covers her future earnings and her legal costs.

| It's a disability pension. And the typist is also entitled to the same, in the form of state benefits.
