Am I right in saying that you could be charged
with manslaughter if you 'Fail to offer reasonalbe
assistance' to someone in need.


No. Under English law, if you found Tony Blair hanging off the edge of a
cliff, you would be under no legal obligation to rescue him. I've checked.


But as we see on the news today Labour ministers do like to help out
rescuing other people in difficulties and it would be very rude not
to return the favour.
