- There will be initial sympathy for the deceased and his family, followed by a series of rightwing lunatics in the press writing ‘it was his own fault/shouldn’t have been there in the first place/lousy malcontent’ sort of articles.
- The police report will take so long to come that if it transpires that the police were out of order and the report says that, it will be so far from now that any indignation that remains in the majority of the public will have long vanished behind the next football match/royal event or other assorted nonsense.
This is a very short article and I just want to make one small point and ask one simple question on more general issues. The small point is that yes, there are lunatics out there but in any form of sane society the worst, greediest, most egotistical and bloodthirsty ones wouldn’t be the ones controlling it from inside the most beautiful buildings.
The second is that if they are ‘our’ representatives truly fighting to work for the interests of the people of the world, why do they need so much protection from the very people they claim to represent?
