How about we agree a rule to save all our hot takes, anger, speculation and reflexive "final solutions" for another day? Can we do that?

Too little is known. There is too much heat, misinformation, anger, grief and sadness. Nothing good is born out of that cocktail.
-
but the same argument is used every day. It is ignoring the real issue.
-
In the coming days and weeks we will start to know the facts, and the anger and grief will not be as raw. Why can't we wait until then?
-
No issues are going to be solved today. Nothing helpful will emerge today from blind rage, hatred and fear.
-
Why not just use today to show love and support in whatever ways we each can, and once we have the facts we can have informed discussion?
-
No one who has lost a child today will be comforted by Hopkins calling for a "final solution", or Steve Brookstein's conspiracy theories.
-
So that's why I make my hippy, snowflake plea that, today, we just pause, reflect, grieve and love. And try not to hate each other.

Why not today? Because for once it'd be nice to respect the victims rather than letting bile flood the internet. Is that not reasonable?

It's called respect. Respect for those that have lost loved ones. Not for making political gain or boost your ratings on the radio.

To be quite frank, ordinary people don't want to talk about politics today. Particularly from self centered political "commentators"!
