Normalisation Of British Serviceman Killed
So, this is it then - the media/UK public have now 'normalised' UK Serviceman deaths over seas. I got back in from a night on the town to see that the sad news was number 3 behind who sends who to which schools and Kylie only singing for one hour! By 0800 there was nothing on the news about the deaths and relegated on the BBC web site to a side heading.
So the two deaths of these lad overnight (UK time) has virtually gone unnoticed by the majority of the UK public.
I believe that we are reaching that stage with two medium scale conflicts and deaths now a regular occurence where British society has normalised it and therefore it no longers registers on their 'fcuk ometre' scale as they tuck into their Sunday lunches.
From a PPrune perspective I am surprised that no comment was made on the Prime Ministers 'Little Britain' speach in HMS Albion this week - or are we too bored as well to comment, type, rant?
