Honesty, moral courage and great writing: Nina, that's you. We are living in a vicious age. Until recently I just said, with a half-smile, "we live in interesting times" but now I can't soften it. Vicious times. Thank you, Nina, for your decency and intelligent commentary.
Unfortunately it wasn't only the right wing mob that caused this. A lot of media organs that I read / follow and trust (that are not anti DEI, etc.) also jumped on the bandwagon and fanned the flames. When did we, as humanity, become thirsty spectators of troubled fellow human beings?
Very true (I was sad to see the Guardian publish so much about it) though those that seem to have the least contrition since his death appear to be on the right.

Thanks for all your support, Irene 💜

It has always been easy to jump on bandwagons. Moral courage is exceptional, and rarely rewarded.
