It would make Tilda very happy if people would stop saying and writing "brutal murder" or "brutal assault." Murders and assaults are by their nature brutal. It's redundant.
Another thing that drives Tilda crazy is the increasingly common use of "around," as in "a discussion around immigration." Who started this usage anyway? When you talk "around" something, you avoid the topic. Why not just say, "a discussion about immigration"?
