It wasn't a dream , much as I wish that it had been
It was real unimaginable horror which won't go away for a long time.

Unfortunately it appears that freedom has a price and many people in America payed that price yesterday
Just as , if you leave your door unlocked ---- you risk being robbed
and
If you walk alone at night --- you risk being mugged
If you live in a free , democratic society ---- you are at risk from attack by every type of "nut" or "fanatic"

Its the scale of this atrocity that has shocked .... the slaughter of so many ......
and the apparent ease by which that slaughter occured

But the alternative is also unthinkable .... I don't want to live in a world where everything I do and everywhere I go is subject to crippling controls

Today is different to yesterday ..... today we must face this reality

My thoughts are with you all
