My Sister is visiting London this week... I am waiting to hear word to make sure she is safe.

Tony Blair speaks out against terrorist attacks

Tony Blair has given his first speech since the terrorist attacks inLondon this morning. The Prime Minister left the G8 summit inGleneagles, Scotland, and issued a statement before travelling to thecapital.


"I hope you understand that at the present time we’re still trying toestablish exactly what has happened. I’m limited to what information Ican give you. I’ll simply try and tell you the information as best Ican at the moment.

"It’s reasonably clear that there have been a series of terroristattacks in London. There are obviously casualties – both people thathave died and people who are injured. Our thoughts and prayers ofcourse are with the victims and their families.


"It’s my intention to leave the G8 within the next couple of hours andgo down to London and get a report, face to face, with the police andthe emergency services and the ministers that have been dealing withthis, and then to return later this evening.


"It is the will of all the leaders of the G8 that the meeting shouldcontinue in my absence, that we should continue to discuss the issuesthat we were going to discuss, and reach the conclusions which we weregoing to reach.


"Each of the countries around that table has some experience of theeffects of terrorism. And all the leaders - as they will indicate alittle bit later - share our complete resolution to defeat thisterrorism. It’s particularly barbaric that this has happened on a daywhen people are meeting to try to help the problems of poverty inAfrica and the long-term problems of climate change in the environment.


"Just as it is reasonably clear that this is a terrorist attack – or aseries of terrorist attacks – it’s also reasonably clear that it isdesigned and aimed to coincide with the opening of the G8. There willbe time to talk later about this. It’s important, however, that thoseengaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend ourvalues, and our way of life, is greater than their determination tocause death and destruction to innocent people in the desire to imposeextremism on the world.


"Whatever they do, it is our determination that they will never succeedin destroying what we hold dear in this country, and in other civilisednations throughout the world."

Sending my love from this side of the pond.

This is awful.

Has anyone heard from RusselandRoxy and our other UK members?

 

[DaisyNBuster]

Has Jan (Luvabun)been online today?

*EDIT* Sorry Jan's in Cyprus.

 

[Carolyn]

Glad you mentioned it, DaisyNBuster. I was worried about her not signing in either.

You're so much on our minds. My whole heart goes out to the people of your Great Country.

As I said, Americans are glued to the tv set praying and thinking ofyou. You're our closest friends and you mean The World to us. An attackon you is an attack on us in most of Americans' minds.

I pray that all families and friends are accounted for shortly and that this chaos is over. Oh you poor people!

And just after you get the good news that the Olympics are yours. GoodLord! I was so happy that you won that bid. Was just saying to my momyesterday that I was so looking forward to the coverage of the Olympicsin England because we'll get to see that gorgeous City again. I am soglad they are going to be able to show themselves off, and they'll do abeautiful job of it.

:England: ray: :England:

God Bless and Keep England.
