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.
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!
God I love the British! Thanks so much for posting the links to those quote collections...just goes to prove why they are the strongest people out there!
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.
