London, July 2005

Posted on July 7, 2005

I am a semi news junkie. When something big happens, I am rapt with attention. If I watched TV I would be glued to it. Thus it is, I have been following the terrorist bombings in London. There isn’t much for me to say, except I have people in my prayers, and I hope to hear from my cousin soon (she maried an English guy and lives in Belgium, but I imagine she still visits London on occassion).

I think the best response I have seen so far was posted by The London News Review. Follow the link, or read below.

A Letter To The Terrorists, From London
July 07, 2005

What the fuck do you think you’re doing?

This is London. We’ve dealt with your sort before. You don’t try and pull this on us.

Do you have any idea how many times our city has been attacked? Whatever you’re trying to do, it’s not going to work.

All you’ve done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more. How is that going to help you? You don’t get rewarded for this kind of crap.

And if, as your MO indicates, you’re an al-Qaeda group, then you’re out of your tiny minds.

Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we’ve got news for you. We don’t much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name. But, listen very clearly. We’ll deal with that ourselves. We’re London, and we’ve got our own way of doing things, and it doesn’t involve tossing bombs around where innocent people are going about their lives.

And that’s because we’re better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our city works. We rather like it. And we’re going to go about our lives. We’re going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we’re going to work. And we’re going down the pub.

So you can pack up your bombs, put them in your arseholes, and get the fuck out of our city.
