I'm sure that the mauling of a teenage student by a Polar Bear oin an island north of Norway was a tragic loss for the family, and our sincere condolences go out to all concerned.

One thing strikes me. The student in question was blessed with the Christian name Horatio, was attending Eton College, and was on a trip paid for by his wealthy parents, and it was the the sort of trip that most teenagers could only ever dream about.

Does his death deserve the same outpouring of public grief that would doubtless be forthcoming to a a teenager called Kevin, say, who went to the local comprehensive school and was mauled to death on a day trip to Chester Zoo?

I don't think it does.
