As one bad news story piles on top of another, from every corner of the world, it is easy to give into despair for plight of human-kind.
After listening to the reports of the mass shooting in Tunisia something starts to pierce my shock and horror at this latest demonstration of man’s ability to inflict murder and mayhem on their fellow-man.
The constant reference to “Brits among the dead”, “?? British dead out of 37”; STOP , please!
Of course I understand that for a locally reporting news organisation company the local take is important, but for news companies reporting world-wide can we accept that each one of those 37 people counts. Each one had their own back story, family, friends and hopes and dreams; part of which was getting away for a while to lie on a beach and forget the stresses of life.
Anyone I speak to is aware these random acts of terrorism can happen anywhere, anytime. It is a global issue, affecting every race and religion ( or lack of), every sexual orientation and every age group.
The problem belongs to all of us and so do its victims.
Very true
