At around midnight today (2/1/12) police were called to a house in Durham UK follow reports of gunshots. Inside the house they found the bodies of four people all of whom had suffered shotgun wounds. Sadly this is just a genuine murder suicide. If I'm been totally honest I'm surprised there haven't been more but deep down I know there have been but they just didn't make it on to the news.
Due to the recession or more specifically government policy towards the recession there are an awful lot of people in Britain under an awful lot of stress. Over the festive period those stresses get magnified especially with the promise of a New Year demanding that people cope for another 12 months. Some people decide they can't and kill themselves.
If you must put a political dimension to it all then it highlights the contempt that Britain's government has for it's people because a compassionate person would have changed course by now. Britain though just considers these people acceptable losses.
