What type of person laughs at the deaths of young men: a Guardian reporter.

It's is a tragic story and the stuff of every parent's nightmare. Three nineteen year old students were on holiday in Thailand when there bus was involved in an accident and they were killed. For three young men with their lives and dreams ahead of them it's horrific. Truly life can be cruel. The three are Bruno Melling-Firth, Conrad Quashie and Max Boomgaarden-Cook. All three school friends went to the same state school.

It doesn't matter if they were rich or poor, black or White, British or foreign. It doesn't matter what their political beliefs were. This is a tragedy that must be utterly devastating to their family and friends. My deepest and most sincere sympathies go out to all.

This is a tragedy plain and simple.

Unless you are a Guardian journalist. In that case it's funny. Kia Abdullah believes their deaths are a joke because two of them had hyphenated names.




What type of bigot finds the death of anyone, especially the young funny? These three friends were not criminals, they were not nazis or upperclass oppressors. They were just young men with a life and family ahead of them. There deaths are not funny. Their deaths are not a political statement or a blow to the upper classes.

It's a tragedy.

Abdullah should be ashamed of herself. She's a nasty, narrow-minded, creep without the most basic empathy or understanding of humanity.
