"Spoilt children"

Filed under: Headline Shooter

From the BBC website's page for accounts of and opinions on the London bombing, mostly from Londoners:


Yesterday, we were annoyed with Londoners and English people. London won the [Olympic 2012] games and Paris lost them. And today we wake up. We realise that these little fights between old friends are for spoilt children. We are all facing a huge challenge. We have all to fight terrorism. We are all Londoners today. We all feel sad and share the pain of the one who are suffering today. Do not worry my friends, we will be with you in this fight and we will win it.
Julien, Paris, France

Our hearts are with you today London. Please know that those responsible do not represent us in the Arab/Islamic world.
