""It's taken a long fight to get here.""

This quote, at the very beginning of the article, immediately frames the current situation as a hard-won victory, suggesting something extraordinary and significant has been achieved after a struggle, thereby capturing attention.

"Families of Calocane's victims and survivors have spoken of their fight for answers, and hope for the "full truth" ahead of the hearings."

The phrase "fight for answers" and "full truth" creates a strong narrative pull, hinting at unresolved mysteries and the promise of significant revelations, thus holding the reader's attention.

"The start of the inquiry marks a watershed moment for those affected by the attack, and for the people of Nottingham.""

The term "watershed moment" highlights the unique and pivotal nature of the inquiry, signaling that this is a significant, potentially transformative event that demands attention.

"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks last year."

The involvement of the Prime Minister and the formal announcement of a 'public inquiry' lend significant institutional weight and credibility to the process being discussed, framing it as a serious and authoritative undertaking.

"Kumar - who works as a GP - does not want to hear is that the attacks were "a result of cost cuts". He said: "I've been in the NHS since 1994, there has never been a time when we've had money but as a GP, I've done my job."

Dr. Kumar's professional designation as a GP and his long tenure in the NHS ('since 1994') are used to establish his credibility and expertise when he critiques potential systemic failings.

"The Nottingham Inquiry - chaired by retired judge Her Honour Deborah Taylor - will hear evidence until the end of May."

The naming of a 'retired judge Her Honour Deborah Taylor' as the chair instantly confers a high degree of legal and institutional authority onto the inquiry, suggesting impartiality and rigor.

"We want absolute transparency. Patients and relatives deserve transparency," he said. Police officers and NHS employees, who were involved in Calocane's mental healthcare, are among those expected to give evidence."

This quote subtly creates an 'us vs. them' dynamic, positioning 'patients and relatives' (the public, victims) as deserving of transparency from opaque institutions like 'Police officers and NHS employees'.

"It was "easy to be suspicious and negative" about the organisations the families had encountered, but said she "had to put my faith in this inquiry"."

This highlights an implicit ‘us vs. them’ dynamic between the affected families/public and the "organisations" being investigated, while also appealing for unity around the inquiry.

"His 19-year-old daughter Grace O'Malley-Kumar died trying to protect her friend and fellow student Barnaby Webber, with the pair stabbed to death by Valdo Calocane as they walked home from a night out in Nottingham on 13 June 2023."

This detailed description of the senseless and tragic deaths of young students, particularly the aspect of one dying while trying to protect another, is designed to evoke strong feelings of sorrow and outrage.

""She is the driving force behind everything that we do and everything that I do, and we will be relentless,""

This statement frames the parents' actions as driven by a deep, moral imperative stemming from their daughter's death, elevating their 'fight for accountability' to a morally unassailable position.

""The only way we will do that is by holding people accountable, otherwise things won't change.""

This statement taps into a common desire for justice and implies that without accountability, the current unacceptable situation will persist, provoking frustration and a call for change.

"Ultimately, when all of the true horrors and failings are unveiled, then we have to have that accountability but change and proper change within the law and legislation to make everybody safer," she said."

The phrase "true horrors and failings" combined with the plea for changes "to make everybody safer" is designed to evoke fear about potential dangers if systemic issues are not addressed.

"Nearly three years on, Birkett said "nothing's changed". "My memory's still poor, headaches are still there, legs are still a problem, sleeping is still a problem," he said. ... "There's a lot of questions for the police, there's a lot of things that need answering."With the [mental health NHS trust] - they've got a lot to answer for as well," he said."

The survivor's enduring suffering and the direct accusation that institutions 'have a lot to answer for' is intended to generate a sense of frustration and outrage at perceived inaction or culpability.
