Nationwide Minute Silence For Tunisian Victims.

[Gromit]

Why?

[Baldric]

Divebuddy, are you unfamiliar with Gromits usual stance on most things British?

[Baldric]

I have not said you're a Brit hater, I asked
///are you unfamiliar with Gromits usual stance on most things British?///

When I read the question it struck me as odd that it needed asking, but of course if someone honestly doesn't know why - then perhaps I was judgemental in my first thought.

I didn't think 'Minutes Silence' was a new concept.

[Mamyalynne]

I have said nothing I don't mean - are you implying differently?


I have simply realised that the OP may not have come across the concept before - it is possible.

[Old_Geezer]

Did you mean S&M ?

....I'm just waiting for someone to come along + point out this is the News section, not Chatterbank.......;)

[Mamyalynne]

OG, No.

Dive - I have a physician.

Gromit, please ignore my digression.


Quite right, report please.

[Baldric]

Baths you're right of course, no News content, should never have been in this section.

[Bathsheba]

@ divebuddy......eh? :/

[Gromit]

Nutcases like ISIS will be pleased to see they are being noticed in the UK. Seeing the whole nation in mourning will greatly encouraged them.

Rather than being anti-British, I find this whole thing to be very un-British. We haven't had National Silences for other attacks or tragedies. Lee Rigby didn't get one, IRA victims didn't, Hyde Park or Warrington killings didn't get one.

I was not surprised when France held a national silence for their terrorist victims. France have a different temperament than us. That we should do the same a few months later seems more than a coincidence. And un-British.

The renegade forum, Bathy ( I think)

Agree with everyone who say it was a question that did not need asking.
Minutes silences go on everywhere, mostly they are place specific city, town village ( think Liverpool, Bradford ) but on this occasion..............

I really can not see why it would irk anyone into asking 'why'

" I find this whole thing to be very un-British. "

you should feel right at home then.

[Bathsheba]

Ah thanks Talbot.

divebuddy,....no. it's not for me, I haven't joined. I'm not a fan of dancing, waving emoticons.
