I think this event in isolation isn’t the point

The point is that the softly softly approach of saying “come on guys, this isn’t ok” hasn’t worked cos events like this still happen.

So if it seems to some people like the media is going off the deep end about stuff that wasn’t news worthy a couple of years ago, but that’s what it takes to force change, then that’s fine with me.
