I remember a policeman being cross-examined in the Scarman inquiry into Red Lion Square retorting that only one had died
What has happened is plenty to get excited about. It's just that, I suggest, the excitement is best contained gesturally so that the idiots responsible who did not kill themselves gain less satisfaction
The dead are out of it and the only loss now is ours because, I believe, the dead are dead and know nothing. But the wounded are many; and in many cases their suffering will not end.
The other thing to get excited about is the length of time it took them to deal with what you rightly say is a relatively small set of incidents. We might reflect what it'll be like when we are subjected to a nuke or other nasty

Nothing to worry about Patrick. Radio 5 has been calm and brilliant all day.
This has been expected for months but they havent really killed very many.
Look at Madrid. Nothing to get excited about.
