🏅📺The ink isn’t even dry on the police report, but the political class is already strapping on their lycra for their favourite quadrennial event: the Blame Olympics. Forget running, cycling, or discus—this is a sprint to see who can pin a national tragedy on their favourite cultural enemy before the body is even cold. And boy, do they come prepared.

🎯 Target Practice for the Morally Flexible

Conservative pundits: It’s the radical left, obviously. Universities are Marxist training camps. Probably something to do with oat milk too.

Progressive commentators: Actually, it’s right-wing extremism, toxic masculinity, and the existential dread caused by Elon Musk’s haircut.

Backbench MPs: TikTok. Always TikTok. Ban it and the world will be fine.

And somewhere in the corner, a think tank intern furiously typing: “This proves we need tax reform.”

By tomorrow, the blame baton will have passed through violent video games, Netflix crime dramas, social media algorithms, and perhaps even Greta Thunberg. Because nothing says “measured debate” like turning a murder investigation into a culture war raffle.

Meanwhile, prosecutors have actual evidence, but where’s the fun in that? Far easier to go for the triple somersault dismount into “This wouldn’t have happened if students still respected Latin and wore blazers.”
