I must admit I've found it totally extraordinary how the entire country seems to have gone bonkers; disgusting photos over all the papers, even the Guardian (actually almost enough to stop me reading any of them); our vile Prime Minister displaying incredible tastelessness and vindictive bile; even Hilary Clinton, who I've always liked.

It was bad with Saddam, worse with Osama, but just incomprehensible with Gaddafi.

Have we all lost all sense?

No, WE haven't. It's just our leaders, (and a lot of other countries' leaders) are as bad and mad as the leaders of those countries we've invaded. Perhaps it only mad, insane and people without morals that seek to be leaders, and we're stupid enough to let them lead.

I cant imagine footage and images shown in the last 24 hours would have been available on daytime tv and newsagents shelves. Anyone remember the hoo ha around video nasties?

I remember Thatcher very well introducing video censorship back in 1986.
Obviously now we're all PC you can't say a bad word,but it's ok to publish gore?

I disagree JK. I've never like Clinton.

Snuff movies are all the go. Kiddies in China mown down by a car,ME leaders dragged through he streets and executed.

I always thought they were a myth.

There was a time when this ghastly stuff would have caused outrage. Instead world leaders are lining up to celebrate. Strange times.
