And the next one.
Andy Burnham has already given the standard politicians speech. How we must not let these men of violence divide us etc etc; how this will make us stronger, etc etc.
I wonder if the candle lit vigil has already been arranged? The multi-faith demonstration of solidarity?
The political speeches where we will be urged not to be fearful?
The standard cliches all rolled out once more? Plus of course the BBC will say that the majority of peace loving Muslims are terrified of a right wing backlash and how we must guard against Islamophobia.
And of course, the horror of it all is being played down and the positives - everyone is pulling together, etc etc - played up. Maybe we'll be told that traffic is flowing freely in Manchester city centre now, as though that is a major positive.
RIP to the victims.
