Quiet for a while

I have been shifting flats and lost broadband for a while, so things have been quiet here.  

As far as the Breivik massacre goes, I was glad that I was distant from the blogosphere at a time of instant political point scoring, without a decent interval of silence and of not rushing to judgement.  I know little about Norway but I do know what it is like in a country with a small population when something like that happens.  The people of Scotland were deeply upset after the Dunblane massacre.   Friends of mine could not bear to speak about it or look at that school photo of the children with their bright faces and their nice-looking teacher.

Well said.

One well known lefty blogger waded straight in, in quite an unedifying way. Using the tragedy for score settling with Melanie Phillips.
