Minnie’s Musings

As previously discussed ad nauseam, reaction to the news can be a mixed bag.

After all the reports on the synagogue attack and the new plan for peace in Gaza, the thing that made me gasp out loud was the death in a car crash of that young man who has just been released from prison in Qatar, for the heinous crime of sleeping with a young woman.

This item was just a sentence. It’s not even on the BBC News website, so I can’t check his name or where he was prosecuted (please excuse errors).

He has been killed in a car crash in South London. He was a passenger. Perhaps the driver was also killed. Another family blighted by grief.

And lurking behind this is the tiniest, faintest hope that the protagonists in Gaza have been shoved into a peace deal. Every light at the end of a tunnel starts as a glimmer.
