(Warning: this post discusses the terror attack on London Bridge and related issues)
Sometimes, when one bad news story follows another, when one terrible event after another plays out on our screens, you can get the feeling that the words no longer have meaning.
But the words have meaning if you give them meaning.
London Bridge was an act of hate by someone who had previously shown themselves to be hateful - who had served their time for planning terrorist attacks and training camps.
But that doesn't mean parole, bail, license, is a bad thing.
Not everyone who makes a mistake will fail to learn from it.
People are people, dearest nerdlets. People are people.
