They surmise -- correctly -- that widespread reporting of the incident would probably create a public consensus for action and baying for blood. So it's back-burnered.

But I imagine a lot of newsroom editors outside the UK would disagree. I strongly suspect it is an admirable but misguided sense of objectivity on their part.

I really did expect to see it splashed across each of the dailies in TO....apparently its not that big deal of a story....puzzling, truly puzzling.
