Kier Starmer was visiting a school in Wales and the class was in the middle of a discussion about words and their meanings. The teacher asked Kier if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy".
A boy stood up and said "if my best friend who lives on a farm, is playing in a field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that'd be a tragedy."
"Incorrect" says Starmer, "that would be an accident. "
A girl raised her hand and said "if a school bus carrying 50 children inside drives over a cliff killing everyone inside, that'd be a tragedy."
"No" says Starmer, "that's what we call a great loss."
Little Johnny put his hand up and said, "if a plane carrying you and Lammy is hit by friendly fire missile and blown to pieces, that would be a tragedy. "
"Brilliant!" Says Starmer. " now, can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
Little Johnny replies, "Well, it wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident, either."
