The Tyranny of the Violent


What can one say? My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims, their friends and families, of this mornings bombings in London.

The taking of a life, and the wilful maiming of any individual is in my book an abomination. It is equally abominable whether it be a private act of vengeance, or violence authorised by a state or martial authority.

The real losers in any such act are the majority of humankind as, for the illiberal (both in mainstream and fringe politics) such acts are grist to their mill!
