The mindless slaughter, by what appears to be a mad man in Norway was and is shocking. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for it happening other than the beliefs of a deluded, irrational and quite possibly ill individual. It has quite rightly been at the top of the news broadcasts in the UK for a number of days.
The death of Amy Winehouse has been on an equal news footing as the Norway story - how pathetic does that make the UK, or perhaps, the UK press. Winehouse was clearly a unique talent who may have had issues, but essentially killed herself through a mixture of ill-advised acquaintances/friends, drugs and alcohol. Yes, it is sad that she died at such a young age, and I'm sure that her friends and relatives are devastated, but ultimately she killed herself, knowingly or not.
Those who died in Norway had no choice. I'm waiting for the death of Pete Doherty and the pathetic crocodile tears of the tabloids/celebrities with faltering careers.
The press (and the public who buy that press) make me sad, not the death of a "celebrity", whoever that may be.
