The Prime Minister just made a formal speech to the Norwegian People. A very different kind of speech one would expect from the UK or USA in similar circumstances. He said [paraphrasing] 'no one will bomb Norway out of its democracy and open society; no one will kill Norway out of its democracy and open society. Norway will answer this with more democracy and open society, but that Norway will find and punish those involved.' No mention of violent revenge. Much talk of sorrow for the victims and their family/friends. Asking all Norwegians to talk to one another, be there for one another, be stronger together from here on out. He said Norway is a small, but proud nation and it won't be bowed by what has happened - in fact only made stronger. Etc.
