No one is likely to question Martin's assertion that Friday's tragedy at Westminster must be regarded "not alone as the immediate cause of Black Saturday's national humiliation, but also as the crucial phase, the pivot upon which the development of the whole disastrous week turned." But the Westminster Riot at least had the saving feature of unpremeditation.
