Well for starters it takes longer to get the details on a member of the public. He did, however, get quite a nice piece in the Tele over the weekend. Turns out he's a bit of a local hero already, as a retired mine rescue worker.

Having said that, if you can't see that the premeditated murder of a member of our legislature, killed for what she believed and worked for, is fundamentally an assault on our system of democracy, then I worry for you.

There are places in the world where this sort of thing is far from uncommon. I trust you wouldn't want the UK to join them in the gutter - in which case, joining with the rest of the adult population in treating this case with due seriousness would be a good idea.
