| "This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty and the powerful;
it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers; it was aimed at
ordinary working class Londoners, black and white, Muslim and
Christians, Hindu and Jew, young and old, indiscriminate attempt at
slaughter irrespective of any considerations, of age, of class, of
religion, whatever, that isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted
faith, it's just indiscriminate attempt at mass murder, and we know
what the objective is, they seek to divide London. They seek to turn
Londoners against each other and Londoners will not be divided by this
cowardly attack... I wish to speak through you directly, to those who
came to London to claim lives, nothing you do, how many of us you kill
will stop that flight to our cities where freedom is strong and where
people can live in harmony with one another, whatever you do, how many
you kill, you will fail."
-Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London- |
