Her death is of course very sad, as is the death of any young person, what I find a little distasteful is the fact that it seems to be getting more coverage than the deaths of almost 100 innocent people in Norway yesterday.

Agreed 100%

Someone on the radio said "she was a good role model for kids"! Yeah ok... Well, she certainly became a good role model THIS weekend. SOrry, but she was a druggie and had no thought for the kids who looked up to her.

As for our friends in Norway, what can you say to that? Other than we've had similar here over the past few decades and every decent Briton sympathises with our Norwegian neighbours.

It's a fine Country with good people.

As awful as the Norway "incident" is, I regret that this is the tip of the problem, ie the far right, that is growing around the world.

I hope our world leaders sit up and take notice for once. But I doubt it.

Tore, many people here in Britain also observed the 1 minute silence in respect for our good friends in Norway.

Norway is a proud Country with great traditions and history; it will recover- Norway will never let 'people' like that beat it. Not the land of the Norseman!

I know politics is banned on this forum, so I will make only a brief point. If you look on the internet there are many leading academics that explain quite well how the western world is breaking up with lack of cohesion and purpose.

The clue: Imagine a ship that has hit the rocks and is sinking. The Captain takes charge and calmly lowers the lifeboats and people are saved. Compare: The Captain tells passengers to all stat on the sinking ship whilst he gets in the lifeboats with his officers; there is no leadership or direction for the passengers. Chaos follows.

That is a very brief comparison to modern western life (blame respective governments for lack of leadership and direction)

The pyramid is collapsing, SD. It's not going to be pretty at all, but it had to happen at some point- it was inevitable.

Any economist who tells you boom and bust is over is either talking carp or is talking about a very small, highly regulated economy- which wouldn't support the modern way of life anyway
