Diana inquest - is this really the end?

A British inquest has now concluded that the 1997 death of Princess Diana was caused by speeding and drunk driving. The amazing thing is that it only took them over £10 million pounds ($19.8 million) to figure this out. For more background on this ludicrous hunt for conspiracy theories, go here. It's interesting that the media in the UK are only now focused on the cost of this colossal waste of time and money; meanwhile I've mentioned it several times before.

The answers were already at hand; two separate British and French official investigations already concluded the very same thing.

But of course, that isn't enough for Egyptian millionaire Mohammed Al-Fayed, who has been driving this whole charade, and believes the deaths were assassinations ordered by the British Royal family and carried out by MI6 and the CIA. Now he says he might even appeal the verdict, dragging this thing out to oblivion. UK taxpayers, be prepared to pay some more - you allowed this to happen, you bring it on yourselves.

And why not? There are still plenty more who prefer the conspiracy theories.

Here's just a sample of how some of this money was spent:

In one case the funds were used to fly an official to Los Angeles in America to collect a tape of a telephone conversation involving Dodi's ex-girlfriend Kelly Fisher.

In the recording she told her former partner: "You even flew me down to St Tropez to sit on a boat while you seduced Diana all day and f***** me all night."
