King Edward VII Hospital hoax tragedy

I hesitate to add anything to the tsunami of comment that has followed the King Edward VII Hospital hoax tragedy.

And there is surely nothing more trite and self-publicising than the comment of celebrity wife Sally Bercow who sends out her "heart" (whatever that is worth) to both the victim AND her tormentors in this sad case.

But I do feel I need to question Ms Bercow's assertion that the "Aussi DJs... could never have foreseen this tragedy".  Hoaxes of this kind are essentially examples of cruelty - a cruel and vicious sense of humour.  It is the nature of cruelty that it must be ever more extreme to satisfy its audience.

Therefore it was only a matter of time before hoaxes of this kind (which began in a harmless enough form back in the 1960s) eventually began to target hospitals and destroy nurses.

Is there not enough cruelty in the world without Aussi DJs adding to it?
