Sometimes news can be just unbearable. I find I cannot engage with the coverage from Norway, when I did, briefly, I felt consumed by rage and despair at such loss of young innocent lives. The assailant is in court today and has prepared his foul, fascist manifesto in which he intends justify his murders to a shattered nation.
Democratic zealots say he has every right to make this speech. He does not. He has absolutely rejected all the principles of democracy by his actions and so has forfieted his right to have his free speech protected by it. To allow it would be to trample on the memories of the dead.
