7/ 7

The barbarians of al qeda have finally bombed London. No doubt, the security services have foiled attacks in the past, but bombs in the tube and on a bus have resulted in the deaths of over 50 innocent people.
Mayor Ken Livingstone spoke for London yesterday from Singapore, when he mentioned the indiscriminate nature of these attacks. These barbarians have no regard for life, race, religion, nationality or political persuasion. They were used to create mass casualties and disrupt, frighten, and overwhelm the good people of London.

I hope these barbarians are apprehended, prosecuted and incarcerated in our prisons.
They should never be released from jail, for this heinous crime against civilians on their way to work. We will not let these fascists win, we will not alter our way of life, we will not bring in draconian legislation, or legislate in haste in response to this atrocity.
London should carry on as usual, they may have bombed us, but we will not be defeated by fascists living in our midst.

I sincerely hope that the citizens of this nation do not attack muslims or mistreat them in any way. Muslims were affected by the bombs as much as any other community. The muslim community should not be scapegoats for vitriol or violence because of the actions of a few barbarians claiming to be the true 'muslims'.

Finally, the work of the emergency services, was astounding, and their tireless and dedicated efforts to help Londoners should not be forgotten. Indeed, the death toll could have been higher had the emergency services not responded in such a professional and outstanding manner.
