From Sky News, a quote from London mayor Ken Livingstone:
“Ours is the greatest city in the world and we will not be divided by your cowardly attacks. I know you fear you may fail in your long-term objectives. In the coming weeks look at our airports, seaports and railway stations. People come to live in London so they can live the life they choose. They flee you because you tell them how to live and no matter how many people you kill, you will fail.”
I like it. Basically, EFF YOU! Always liked Ken. Although, I reckon this will raise the profile of the ID Card thing even more. *ack*
Have these terrorists never heard or seen any footage of the war? Londoners have been through MUCH MUCH more than their terrorists asses can dish out. They’d have to have an army of bombers to even start getting to Londoners.
Or at least that’s what I think.
I did see his earlier ‘reaction speech’ and that was good too – quite empassioned…emotional.
Extremists – you know nothing of this country if you think we will run and hide ourselves away from your cowardice. No – this will simply strengthen our resolve to hunt you down, every last one of you – we will persecute you until you are dust.
The war, the IRA especially have fortified this country, this people against this kind of terrorism. Nothing they can do – to us, to the British Spirit, will bring this country to its knees…
