Yesterday’s Person of the Day was a Woman
With all the elections and the referendum going on in the UK and Obama’s trimphalist vengeance in the United States it fell to a woman to add some sanity to the world.
Lady Justice Hallett’s handling of the inquests into the London bombings of the 7th July 2005 has been exemplary and shows how justice can be seen to be done and closure can be brought to a tragic part of British history.
There will always be some who call for more enquiries to apportion blame, but in my view it is time for everybody to move on. I have lost two members of my close family to vicious cancers and can sympathise with those who have lost someone dear to them. Who do I have to blame?
Life is a perilous and risky business and it is only by means of luck that we live as long as we do!

I agree, moving on is important. So many people dont. I have come across people who have lost a child, but still include that child’s name on letters, greeting cards etc, people who still celebrate the birthday of a deceased love one with a party. And dont get me started with teddies and balloons etc on graves, often of people who died some years previously.

I also can’t understand why people do all that. And especially for dogs, cats and even guinea pigs.
