To be honest I and many of my friends have been in tears most of the day. I took my Rainbows guides this evening with huge sadness, I brought them those things to make bubbles and cupcakes instead of doing some work, just wanted to spoil them. My children are adults but we went through all this when they were children with the IRA bombing the mainland, they blew up Manchester city centre so this isn't the first time they have been bombed, of course they also suffered during the war when they were bombed repeatedly.
However do look at the stories of those that helped and are still doing so, the homeless man who looked after injured children, the lady who took 50 children away from the scene, the Sikh's who opened their temples for people to shelter in, the hotels that took people in fed them and gave them a bed, the taxi drivers who gave their services for free, people who made tea for the emergency services...yes it is an old joke that the brits make tea in times of crisis but it helps more than you would imagine. Orthodox Jews were handing out food, Muslims wee helping where they could too. And Manchester rejected the EDL a neo Nazi group that tried to demonstrate, they were told to sling their hook. And Manchester held a peace vigil where thousands came..... Manchester attack: Albert Square 'vigil of peace' - BBC News
