Tony Blair was visiting a primary school and was taken to one of the classrooms where they were in the middle of a discussion about words and their meanings. The teacher asked the PM if he would like to lead the discussion so Tony asked the class for an example of the word “tragedy”.
A little boy stood up and offered “If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in a field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be tragedy.”
“No”, said Blair, “that would be an accident”.
A little girl raised her hand: “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.”
“I’m afraid not,” said the PM. “That what we would call a great loss.”
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Tony searched the room. “Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of tragedy?”
Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raised his hand. “If the aeroplane carrying you and Mrs Blair was struck by a friendly fire missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.”
“Fantastic”, exclaimed Tony Blair. “That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”
“Well”, says the boy, “It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss and it probably wouldn’t be an accident either
