It was very interesting in this article in The Daily Mail, which I also 
saw, how they cynically used his mother and her alienation from her own 
son's activities to further identify him as a loner-freak, rather than an 
individual with cogent reasons for turning in a certain direction 
politically, as well as being surrounded by like-minded friends. Perhaps 
the strangest inset in the article, which also included bizarre and 
decontextualised images of what looked like a tradefair for knives and 
other basic arms, was a slot detailing the total food-and-drink consumption 
of the delegates. Clearly, The Daily Mail just can't decide which target to 
let its superficial moralism to rest on...
