'T'is the season...

There is hardly a day goes by now in the fast approach to Christmas that the negative elements at large in the World are not brought to our attention; often in stark contrast to the season that promises such hope, joy and goodwill to all (edit intentional) whether we like it or not.

The news worthiness of each story seems to be dictated by the assumed reaction of the readership by the reporter and their editor.

Selling copy in order to sell advertising space means that most UK tabloids will not hesitate to serve up stories that are more atrocious than the one before.

Sadly the readership, keen to understand why there is so much death, terror, horror and destruction are becoming desensitised to accounts and images which only a few short years ago would have been considered to shocking to publish.

Horror begets horror. Fear begets fear. Welcome to the atrocity exhibitions...

We need not wonder where it will all end. Only when...
