Welcome to London: We can say we’re not afraid, light candles and make hearts of our hands but the truth is that we can’t go on like this, says KATIE HOPKINS
They stood in the centre of Brussels. Row on row.
Hands
held high, making hearts to the heavens. Showing the slaughtered they
were not forgotten. Reminding themselves they were here with love.
Looking to show humanity wins. That love conquers all.
They lay in the centre of London,
face down where they fell. Stabbed by a knife, rammed with a car,
flung, broken, into the Thames, life bleeding out on the curb.
And the news came thick and fast.
An injured woman is assisted after a man drove a 4x4 into pedestrians along Westminster Bridge on Wednesday afternoon
A car rammed deliberately into pedestrians on the bridge. Ten innocents down.
A police officer stabbed at the House of Commons. Confirmed dead.
Another woman now, dead at the scene.
Shots fired. An Asian man rushed to hospital.
People make hearts with their hands
during a ceremony in Belgium to commemorate the first anniversary of the
bomb attacks in Brussels
A woman, plucked from the water.
And I grew colder. And more tiny.
No
anger for me this time. No rage like I’ve felt before. No desperate
urge to get out there and scream at the idiots who refused to see this
coming.
Not even a nod for the glib
idiots who say this will not defeat us, that we will never be broken,
that cowardice and terror will not get the better of Britain.
Because,
as loyal as I am, as patriotic as I am, as much as my whole younger
life was about joining the British military and fighting for my country —
I fear we are broken.
Not because of
this ghoulish spectacle outside our own Parliament. Not because of the
lives rammed apart on the pavement, even as they thought about what was
for tea. Or what train home they might make.
Bystanders stop to give people mouth to mouth after the driver mowed them down. Katie Hopkins says we are now a broken London
But because this is us now.
This is our country now.
This is what we have become.
To this, we have been reduced.
Because
all the while those forgiving fools in Brussels stood with their stupid
hands raised in hearts to the sky, another mischief was in the making.
More death was in the pipeline.
