[livejournal.com profile] tyrell has been compiling quotes from various people regarding yesterday's attacks in London here. The last one from the Mayor of London got me a bit teary.

Never surrender.

He hasn't been universally popular during his tenure, but dear old Ken Livingstone's really come through in this last day. Even Tony Blair was quite statesmanlike, except when he succumbed to Bushosis and said that terrorism is about terrorising people.

I'm off to London tomorrow to go out for a friend's birthday stick it to the man!

Bushosis. Heh. I posted a quote from him a few months ago where he stated that the reason Osama hasn't been found is because "he's hiding".

Great icon!

Tea and a positive attitude can take you a long way. :-)

So very true! When I saw a story on the shopkeepers bringing people tea, I lost it and started to cry...it's just so wonderful to see! They rock, pure and simple.

Events like these are terrible, but they do bring out the best in people. I went down to the American embassy a couple of times in the week after 9/11 and I'll never forget the (literally) thousands of flowers, notes, and stuffed animals along the front fence. Everyone wanted to do something, anything, to show that they cared.
