Solidarity
Written on July 9, 2005
The usefullness and responsiveness (to public feeling) of pledgebank is being tested by the Shaperner Team, who have sent out a call for a non-political demonstration of respect for the victims of the London Bombings and against those who purportrated it.
This seems to me to be a a great chance to express how the
city really seems to be feeling about the event. i.e. Horrified, pround of those
who handled things so well, a bit shaken, dont like being bombed(!) but generally is getting on with life.
Surely this is a more valid and usefull response than using it as a justification for the War-On-Terror.
Two fingers to those who bomb us, and to those who might try and miss-use the bombings for their own ends.
