first anniversary for London bombings

While this thread's here I might as well comment on London Tonight's (ITV) coverage this week, I'm not sure whether it's a tribute or just plain overkill in all honesty, allocating 10-15 minutes each night to the bombings and filming on location from each bomb area. What do others think? IMO while of course no-one will ever forget, I'm not sure it's something that people want to remember every single day either.....

I agree. On the news today all they were going on about was the bombings. I agree it was a bad thing and people saw some proper bad brown stuff on those days, but the date is 7/7, so why is there such a big wash up 2 days before? Are we going to have this every year for the rest of our lives?

Everyone should be proud, although recently the British people have been seen as dunkards, uncivilised and foul mouthed especially some football fanatics not to mention the influx of Chavs when unfortunate incidents like this happen the British people do show their true nature, we are not all tea drinking, cricket playing, is dissapointed if there is not a queue for everything because us Brits know how to queue, but we are all, deep down strangely proud of our country mainly because we lost so many men in world wars one and two fighting for our empire. They fought for our freedom and there is no way in hell some damn islamic extremists are going to scare us. The first day on the Somme with over 60,000 casualties is scary, but terrorists thinking its their right to blow themselves us for the sake of the misguided sense of reality have another thing coming. I'm sure in heaven, the victims of the bomb attacks are getting ready to go to hell and kick the brown stuff out of the ba***rds.

I'm very glad to say that everybody in this office respected the two minute silence in memory of the victims of the bombings.

All good and decent Brits would have observed the two minute silence, so should have everyone in America!

We held two minutes silence at my station and it was obviously a very sombre situation.

I recall earlier in the week seeing a news item showing one of these misguided people praising the attack and promising more of the same. Why dont the media come together and agree not to give these individuals "free advertising". The media think they are keeping us informed, but they are allowing very disturbed people an opportunity to publicise, defend and glorify their evil actions and doctrines, which are an anathema to any decent civilised person.

I was at Didcot at midday, Most passengers, if not all, stood, in most respectful silence on the station. The station staff kindly thanked everyone for thier observing of the two minutes. The Station Supervisor came round a praised a few people personally....

Our science teacher didn't bother, he was too interested in electric current.

.

Same with out English teacher. Too tied up with feature articles! And the business class i could see didnt stop watching their video for a couple of minutes either.

However, i must confess i forgot too.

On friday at 12 noon our time I observed my own 2 minutes of silence.
I had finished my work early so I flicked over my watch to timer mode and timed 2 minutes.
