Margaret Thatcher turned her back on Lockerbie victims to cut compensation bill
Margaret Thatcher’s cold-hearted Cabinet discussed minimising the cost of compensating Lockerbie disaster victims just hours after the terror attack.
Top Tories meeting in No10 were wrongly told none of the dead passengers were British and that the houses of victims on the ground would be insured, a confidential memo reveals.
It would emerge 31 of the 243 passengers on the doomed flight were British, as was one of the 16 crew.
Another 11 perished in their homes when wreckage from Pan Am Flight 103 hit the Scottish village of Lockerbie 30 years ago this month.
Jim Swire, 82, whose daughter Flora died in the bombing, described the document as “callous and calculating”.
Never trust a tory.
