Our leaders went to Paris to show solidarity following the Charlie Hebdo attacks, but it seems yet again that things weren't quite as we were led to believe.

Yes, they were there, but not in the way that many of us imagined, or perhaps more importantly, were encouraged to believe!
In a way, I sympathise; They were there, they showed their support, but perhaps reasonably were kept at a safe distance and not expected to give up a whole day of their time to it.
In all honesty, I'm not sure how I feel about this, given the difference between what we've been led to believe and the reality.
What does everyone else think?
