Our mayor had it just about right. "It was aimed at ordinary, working-class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and Christian, Hindu and Jew, young and old. It was an indiscriminate attempt to slaughter, irrespective of any considerations for age, for class, for religion, or whatever.
That isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted faith - it is just an indiscriminate attempt at mass murder and we know what the objective is. They seek to divide Londoners. They seek to turn Londoners against each other." I will admit to being very scared yesterday, when the mobile phone networks went down and I couldn't get hold of any of my friends or family. Or when they started to clear the building I work in because they thought there was a car bomb in the car park next door. But I refuse to let it ruin my life or to let it change the way I view people. If we give into fear and racism - looking at people differently because of the colour of their skin or who they are then the f****** will have won. Don't give them that victory.

We Brits are used to terror attacks - we spent years with the threat from the IRA (Coventry suffering directly) etc. but we certainly don't appreciate this sort of racist bigotry being pervaded. Thank you all for your support and if you feel the need to be racist etc. - don't come here or anyway near - we don't want any part of you!

You're just giving into the terrorists when you let them manipulate your emotions like that. It's EXACTLY the kind of reaction they want you to have. At any rate, those sorts of flames do not belong here, so cool it. - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 17043 All e-mails are monitored by Coventry City Council IT Security, using Star Filtering Services. ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
