Because It Just Must Be A Vast Conspiracy....

Family and friends of a Southend man who died at Chelmsford Prison are demanding that the inquest into his death is re-opened to find out answers.
An inquest ruled that Edward Tula, 20, hung himself in his single cell on June 16, 2012, while he was held in custody over an alleged assault.
An alleged assault on whom...?
He was a patient at Basildon Hospital four months before his death where he received medical assessment for complaints of paranoia and self-harm.
He was charged with assaulting another patient in the hospital.
Ah.
The inquest, which lasted for four days, ruled that “imprisonment, medical history and the forthcoming trial may have been contributory factors in his death”.
However, his grief-stricken family is demanding the inquest to be re-opened as they allege that Mr Tula was murdered.
Really? You mean, it's not likely that a man with a history of mental illness killed himself?
They are furious over the irregularities of the ombudsman’s report where witnesses reported his body was found in three different locations of the prison.
Family and friends have received the support of Sir David Amess MP, social workers, a Southend police officer and a police constable.
Mr Tula’s mum, Doreen Burleigh, 43, of Southend, said: “I am going to pursue to this the end. I am not convinced about the details given to us by the prisoner ombudsman.
“I am not convinced my son died from suicide. He was a young man, only 20, and he had a whole life waiting for him.
“He was one month away from his 21st birthday.
“I am working tirelessly to get justice for my Edward. We will be heading to Chelmsford Prison next Thursday to hold a peaceful demonstration.”
Hmmm, why not blame the Russians?
Keith Martin, 59, a family friend of the family said: “We are taking our campaign worldwide. Doreen will be heading to Zimbabwe to get support for our petition, and the US for collect more signatures.”
Yeaaaah, I'm sure you'll get traction there.
Mr Tula was a music student at Southend Adult Community College. After graduation he had wanted to pursue a career in music.
Another aspiring rapper? Damn.

You don't get it! He was about to blow the lid on Southend Adult Community College's secret US government funded research into Alien-Human hybrids.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the usual chicken and the egg question: do these people fantasize about huge conspiracies to explain away their disastrous lives, or do they have disastrous lives because they drift through life lost in deranged daydreams?

Ooh, good point!

"Meanwhile, in the real world, the usual chicken and the egg question: do these people fantasize about huge conspiracies to explain away their disastrous lives, or do they have disastrous lives because they drift through life lost in deranged daydreams?"

Hmmm, one to ponder.

You'd think people who live by grace of the government-run welfare system wouldn't place such faith in swift & competent government conspiracies, wouldn't you?
