In a bubble

We’re supposed to live in an age of instant communications but it is still possible to drop out of touch completely. I watched the lunchtime TV news yesterday, then I got busy with my own life, and I didn’t become aware of the mad jihadi’s assault on the public in London, which took place a couple of hours after the lunchtime news ended yesterday, until I looked at the front page of today’s Daily Mail at about 11:30 this morning.
