July 7th Tube Bombing

No minutes silence or black armbands in Russia....

Oh well, the show must go on.

I saw TV coverage recently of the commemoration of the Manchester Arena bombing . A couple of hours of live coverage of various music/dance acts and a handful of local celebrities adding their two-penneth worth . The targeting of a concert being attended mainly by young children and their parents was an abhorent act even by radical islamist standards .
However there was not one single mention of the fact that it was also 5 years to the day that an equally shocking act took place in which a serving soldier was butchered on the streets of London . An oversight ? A quick check of the BBC News website revealed no indication that such an evil act had ever taken place . Could this possibly be because to remember the public slaughter of a serving member of the armed forces would be seen to be politically incorrect in the current climate of appeasement ? Either way it was a truly shocking omission on the part of the State Broadcaster !
