British Thread #49 - Our values will long outlast theirs
Hey guys - saw it was time for a new thread. The title is a bit from one of Tony Blair's speeches on the London bombings, thought it was appropriate.
"I think we all know what they are trying to do, they are trying to use the slaughter of innocent people to cow us, to frighten us out of doing the things we want to do, of trying to stop us going about our business as normal as we are entitled to do and they should not and must not succeed. When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated, when they seek to change our country, our way of life by these methods, we will not be changed. When they try to divide our people or weaken our resolve, we will not be divided and our resolve will hold firm. We will show by our spirit and dignity and by a quiet and true strength that there is in the British people, that our values will long outlast theirs. The purpose of terrorism is just that, it is to terrorise people and we will not be terrorised." Hope everyone is doing ok  __________________

I havent posted here in a while, I hope everyone is ok and that everyone you know in London is alright. I only found out half an hour ago my friend was ok and the worry was dreadful.
That extract from Tony Blair's speech is very fitting and I agree with it completely. to all. |

Oh my god. I just got back from Spain last night and only found out about what had happened when my sister told me in the car on the way home. I still feel sick to the stomach. This is simply awful. My thoughts and prayers go out to alll who are affected
May you be safe and well.I completely echo what Tony Blair said. We will not be terrorised and we will not let thim win. All for one and one for all. |

A horrible thing to come home to, Cat
 I thought Blair's speech was really well judged, and the sentiment of it is something I applaud. It's great to see the country, and the whole world, pulling together through this. __________________

Kat Great title
 I think the word terrorists gets used too easily in the press, granted they do cause terror but I think murderers would be more apt I'm glad London got quickly 'back to normal' and to show those people that the British will not be beaten and we have true bolldog spirit  __________________
