MoD pays £2.4m to a wounded Kosovan... EIGHTEEN times what a British soldier got after losing both legs
A Kosovan who was mistakenly shot in the jaw by a British soldier has been awarded £2.4million compensation.
The huge sum is more than 200 times the amount available to a UK soldier suffering a similar injury in a battle.

Another great victory for us. Our Kosovan friend was one of five driving around a building which the paras were guarding. Whilst driving they were shooting into the air. Honestly? What response did they expect from the paras who were subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing and yet we still bring this guy over and rebuild his face and then give him £2.4m? I suppose we will offer him citizenship, a flat in knightsbridge and his own private security detail too.
It isn't just outrageous - it is absolutely insulting to our boys and girls who are killed or wounded in defending for this nation and doing its bidding elsewhere. I wonder what would happen if we tried a a few civil suits for reparations to the families of our dead and wounded in Iraq, Afghanistan or Kosovo?
Now I'm really pi$$ed off.
