Boris Johnson pays tribute to victims of the 7/7 bombings hailing London as a city “stronger than any hateful ideology”

 


Boris Johnson paid tribute today to the spirit of London on the 15th anniversary of the 7/7 attacks as a city stronger than any hateful ideology.

Terrorist attacks on three London Underground trains and a double-decker bus in 2005 claimed the lives of 52 victims, more than 700 of whom were injured.

In a special video message, the Prime Minister said that he remembered how the various communities in the capital met in the hours and days that followed.


Because when this city was attacked by those who sought to divide us, London responded with the simple truth that whoever you are, wherever you are, regardless of your skin color or the name of the god that you love, if you choose to come to London and make a living here, then you are a Londoner, he said.

And when you really need it, when you think you can’t go on, when you’ve been knocked down and you can’t get back on your feet, then this city and its people will reach out and hold a complete stranger like if they were family.

It’s the kind of city London is, it’s the kind of people Londoners are.

The video was produced by activists representing the families of the victims and survivors because the coronavirus prevented the annual gathering of those affected by the attack.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan laid wreaths at the 7/7 memorial in Hyde Park at 8:50 a.m. today, the time the first bomb exploded.

A message on the wreath laid by Mr. Khan said: Fifteen years have passed, but the 52 innocent people who lost their lives on 7/7 remain in our hearts.

Those who seek to divide our communities and destroy our way of life will never succeed.

A separate virtual service for families and survivors was held in the afternoon.
