We will not be terrorised into changing our way of life


LAST Thursday morning I left my London flat to go to London City Airport to fly to Manchester to get back to my constituency. I t was 6 a.m. and I used the Docklands Light Rail­


way. It was very efficient despite having to change at Canning Town to take a double decker bus while they build the remainder of the DLR to the airport open­ ing at the end of the year. As I arrived at Manchester I bumped into two


friends from Bolton-by-Bowland who were excited at going down to London for the day for an awards cer­ emony. We chatted for 10 minutes before I waved them


goodbye for their 10 a.m. flight. At that stage I did not know there had been any


incidents in London. Ten minutes after I left them I knew they would have problems. As I arrived in Pendleton to see the news on the television I knew their event would more than likely not take place. The news of the terrorist atrocity in London was


as awful as i t was predictable. We did not know exactly how and we did not know when, but we all knew at some stage London would be the target of terrorists. Over 50 people killed and 700 others injured. Cen­


tral London was cut off to all traffic for the best part of the day. Instead of catching the tube home, my researchers

had to walk. One walked all the way home and the other walked miles until he got out of Zone 1 so he could catch a bus. I flew back to London the next day, via Gatwick,


knowing that I could get back to Westminster walk­ ing from Victoria Station. Everyone had a story that day of how they altered their journeys home or were put up by friends in London. London was not at a standstill because it refused


to cave in to the situation. Londoners did what they do best and they got on with it. That has been the story since the bombings. People


became heroes as they helped the injured and the dying.


Doctors and nurses and others came in on their


day off or worked through the night to tend to those in pain. The police started the painstaking operation of


looking for clues as to who was responsible. The underground was out of action for a day, but in the main was back to operation as was the bus service. The Queen and other members of the Royal Family visited the injured at hospitals and mostly everyone spoke out against the babarity of the attack. I received countless messages of support across the


world from friends and even people I do not know condemning the actions of the terrorists and praising the spirit of the British people. They knew and understood what the terrorists clearly fail to under­ stand. The British people cannot be bowed or ter­ rorised into changing their way of life. We are a dem­ ocratic people whose strength lies in our cosmopoli­ tan make-up and our inate toleration of other peo­ ples’ way of life. We do not dictate to others and we will not take it of anyone else. Britain was made great over centuries of standing


up for our values. We are made what we are and pass it to future generations. We are world travellers, but know finally there is no place like home. We love our country and we will fight to preserve it as we inherit­ ed it, but allowing change as times change but we will not change through force or pressure. We know what is right and we know what is wrong.


We will do the one and hit out against those who do the other. This is the lesson for the terrorists. They cannot


win because we will not let them. Let no one else die simply because they do not understand this. Let them see what they did and then let them see


what we did ... and then let them learn and leave us alone in peace.
