Double bubble, toil and trouble.

What is on my mind? The abominable assassination of journalists and police officers in Paris today. Journalists and political cartoonists, satirists, doing their job, pointing out the absurdity of ALL extremist groups, of ALL stripes.

Pollice officers, doing their jobs, protecting the public safety and democratic and republican rights of those who had received death threats.

Cabu, Wolinksi, Charb, Tignous - four of the best, unflinching political cartoonists. Men of talent, humour and insight, gone. While they cannot speak again, their voices are not silenced, as they are remembered and their best work is being brought to the press even now.

Sickening, frightening, but not new, this attack on freedom of the press and information, this attack on the lives of those who speak up freely and without fear.

The killers? Poor, pathetic cowards, who only prove once again that the pen IS mightier than the sword, because they are so frightened of the pen and the role it serves as the tool for minds that will not bend to intimidation, threats, and violence.

Because they know that people have minds of their own, and are capable of assessing and refusing tyrany, in all its many guises.

That is what is on my mind, and what lies heavy on my heart tonight. My most sincere condolences go to the families and loved ones of those who have died today.

This world is a really scary place to live in at the moment. Everything feels as if it's ready to just erupt, with all the political and social conflicts going on. I know it's naive for me to say "I wish everyone could just get along", but I do. Those cowardly terrorists really piss me off. They even tried to claim that the bin lorry crash in Glasgow was their doing, when, in fact, it was just a tragic accident.

If ever there was a time to unite and be nice to one another, this would be it.
