Cue outraged tweets like "How many people died in YOUR marathon, Bath?" and "This is an insult to those we honour".

FFS. It's just a running race and a photograph of a pile of shoes.

America has become an emotionally crippled nation, unable to deal with death without constant 'honouring' and 'remembering'. Anyone who doesn't fall into their mawkish line is booed for "disrepecting the fallen."

What is clean and efficient?
