The big news today of course concerns what happened in Paris yesterday. Unlike the incident earlier this year in which the magazine publisher's were shot - without much sympathy from me to be honest, and certainly no empathy (at least towards those involved with the magazine) - this incident is likely to change the political mood in France and, hopefully, much of Europe.

In time I hope to write more about that but my first reactions are that there is plenty of blame to go around. In fact, pretty much everybody is to blame, apart from traditional Catholics and me!
