Remembering the victims

This morning at 11.30 am Britain held a minute's silence in memory of the 52 victims  of the July 7th terrorist bombings.

The meeting which I was attending today was adjourned at 11.30 so that everyone could take part.

It says something very sad about the world in which we are living that twice in three working days I and my colleagues have paused our work to remember the innocent people who were foully murdered or injured, in two terrible terrorist atrocities ten years apart. and their families.

The people who were murdered both on the beach in Tunisia and on tubes trains or the bus in London will be remembered with love. W must also do everything we can to support those who were injured or bereaved.

The people who killed them achieved nothing but to bring the religion in whose name they thought they were acting into disrepute - which is very unfair to the millions of decent people who follow that religion and would never dream of supporting terrorist murder.
