Hope you and all yours are OK ...

The news says "Blasts hit London!"

So many of our members live in the U.K. or have ties there -- I add my hopes to Flora's that all are safe and well, and that the violence will be stopped immediately.

Fortunately I have no relations living in or visiting London at this time.

I echo the thoughts of all here, who wish well to all those affected by this cowardly attack.

ArtistColumbus · #7 07-07-2005, 04:54 PM

My family is also praying for all of those in London and for anyone who knows someone there.

I have no words that could express my feelings for those who died today and their relatives, I can only say I join in the sentiment of the members above.
My warmest regards to all our UK Friends.

This is sad news. My heart and prayers to all those who are affected, especially to those who died.

Hellp Folks, long time no see.

Althought i live in the UK, i do not live near London, so i am fine, but prayers must be said for those that do live or were in London and were affected by the blasts.

Swampy · #12 07-12-2005, 10:12 AM

I add my thoughts and prayers to those above. I have always held the British people in high esteem for their courage and fortitude in hard times. As an American I say thank you to all those who fight daily to defend our freedoms against the evil we face today.

The latest news here is that 4 guys who set the bombs, died in the blasts they set off.

The bad news is, they appear to have come from my home town (Leeds), Police have raided several homes in the city, and set off several controlled explosions.

The 4 men were described as "of Pakistani heritage".

I'm ashamed that the city I love so much can raise people with such hatred, and pass my most heartfelt sympathies to the victims and their families.

I too live and work in Leeds and was shocked to hear this news. Many families in the area are still not allowed back into their own homes tonight while the police continue their investigations.

Lets hope that all those involved in this evil act are found and dealt with quickly

It will take all of us to be ever vigilant to defeat those who harbor such hate in their hearts. Bring on the Patriot Act! I have nothing to hide and do not fear that my government or any agency, seeking to root out the bad guys, can do me more harm than that which terrorists wish to do me.
