"The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic."
Joseph Stalin

Stalin was wrong - whether one man or millions, all life should be cherished above the most precious jewels found on Earth. Which is why yesterday's news from the USA is so awful.

32 people - mostly students with potential and promise....gone.

I write these words living in London, a city currently struggling to understand the reasons behind a recent spate of schoolboy murders. More potential and promise lost.

I can only hope those touched by the sudden, senseless and tragic loss of 32 souls can rebuild their lives. I also hope that those injured will recover swiftly.
