BGD 6,436 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 A crime as heinous as that should be remembered even if it was 100 years ago. No-one's saying live in fear of those dogs, but the dead deserve to be remembered. And just because there hasn't been a comparable attack on British soil since, doesn't mean there won't be. No one is saying it shouldn't be remembered, there was a really nice service at the memorial in Hyde Park earlier today just like there is every year. Apparently that isn't enough for some though? I guess they want a national day of mourning or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clever words Mr Khan !! tragedy noun noun: tragedy; plural noun: tragedies 1. an event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe. Do the 7/7 bombings not fit that definition? Can a terrorist attack not also be a tragedy? Are you trying to imply Sadiq Khan was trying to whitewash the fact that it was a terrorist attack?

You quote rightly from the dictionary , I quote from how normal people would refer to an event like 7/7 . . 2 people in the street talk about it I'd say TRAGEDY wouldn't be a word used , "That was a tragic event" . . Or . . "That was a disgraceful / Dispicable / murderous / cowardly event" . . which off those 2 would be used would you say ?? I know what I'd say was commonly used . . I believe Mr Khan was clever using the word Tragedy !!No the terrorist attack itself was not a Tragedy it was a Cowardly act by people who planned to kill as many innocent people as possible !!

You think he was hoping folk would forget the worst terrorst attack to be carried out on British soil was in fact a terrorist attack? What does he stand to gain from that?

It was in other national papers though and the memorial service was mentioned on Sky and BBC TV news, saw it myself. You're complaing about the media not paying any attention to it when you've clearly not even looked to see if they mentioned it.

walshie 2,804 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 A wall falling on someone is a tragedy. A boat sinking and people drowning is a tragedy.

You know Exacly what I'm on about !! I'd call it a tragedy or a suicide bombing or a terrorist attack, they all describe what happened. What difference does calling it a tragedy make? Just looking for something to offended by, it's pretty pathetic actually. A wall falling on someone is a tragedy. A boat sinking and people drowning is a tragedy. Bombs planted by scum in a major city is a terrorist attack. What else would you expect from a terrorist sympathiser? Tragedy doesn't imply accident.

It doesn't imply terrorist attack either. And that's exactly why the sneaky b*****d used the word. Eleven years ago our city came under attack, killing 52 people and injuring over 700 in four coordinated suicide bomb attacks across our transport network. Today, we remember those we lost and the heroic efforts of our emergency services and transport colleagues on that darkest of days. As Mayor, my first priority is to do everything possible to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. Where is he trying to cover up the fact it was a terrorist attack? What's ambiguous about "coordinated suicide bomb attacks"? I suppose he better run all future speeches past the THL committee to make sure his choice of wording doesn't offend anyone.
