Ask yourself. You’re an editor at what still likes to think of itself as a paper of record in a town where, just hours before, a loser who makes the heroes of Four Lions look like Suleiman the Magnificent murdered an innocent man. You’re an editor putting a page together just two days after the London stabbings.

Would you run the top and bottom stories so close together on your website?

Thought not — but that’s The Age in its death throes.
