United in silence, honoured with applause: Britain pauses in memory of Manchester [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 25, 2017 | Keileigh Baker

Britain fell silent this morning as a minute's silence was held across the country to remember the 22 victims of Monday's concert bombing. The silence, which fell at 11am, also marked the nation's solidarity with the 119 who were injured in the blast at the Manchester Arena following a concert, as well as others affected by the atrocity.

Abso-freekin-lootly.

Our pathetic, sniveling whiner left response to their attacks encourage the predations.

You couldn’t design an effort to give better direct morale aid and support to that enemy if you tried.

They’ll need more than a moment of silence to solve their mess. A nation that has lost its courage is a sorry sight.

And what’s next?

If Churchill were prime minister and London was subjected to another Blitz, his response wouldn’t be to say, “Let’s just carry on as usual”.

More appropriate would be a moment of silence to lament the girly men of England who are incapable of defending themselves, their women and children from the barbaric Islamic jihadists who they have welcomed and protected.

Here we go again.

The silence should be in the Muslim neighborhoods, as squads of police and military sweep in and carry the jihadis off to prison or right down to the airport for expulsion from the UK. For Pete’s sake, the authorities know full well who these people are. What are they waiting for?

Instead, they just shrug and tell Brits that they have to get used to it and keep those moments of silence coming.

Churchill would have been busy planning to bomb Berlin in response.

Pity the country that needs Moments of Silence.

The way things are going, the “Minute of Silence” will soon become an “Hour of Silence” and then a “Day of Silence.”

Thank goodness the “Department of Empty Symbolic Gestures” is on the job today.

Now, are the Lancasters warming up on the taxiway?

That “moment of silence” should have been 24 hours of demolition. Every mosque in Manchester should have been raised to its foundation.

Meanwhile the Chelsea football club canceled their public victory celebration out of fear.

Terrorists love hashtag tears and cancelled events.

Churchill said that wars are not won with successful evacuations.

Terrorist are not defeated via group hugs.

Don’t forget the flowers, candles and balloons to show they “care”.

The only moment of silence should be just before the sniper squeezes the trigger.

A few candles and flowers. Small price to pay to have those guaranteed votes and contributions from m*slims. Just be sure you don’t anger them, you hear? or the money stops.

Yeah - united in silence...and inaction, instead of in destroying those who want to keep killing them.....

I am weary of perjorative female terms such as “girly men” being used to describe pathetic gutless “Y” chromosome carriers aka Males. Perhaps you have never encountered a Mama Bear, a term that can pack a wallop. The human kind of Mama Bear, that is. Ask my family what it means. I challenge all you gals out there to let your own Mama Bear loose. It looks like the men are all talk and no go. What say you ?
