My memories of 7/7

It is often said that one always remembers what one was doing when something big happens. It’s true. People even now can vividly recall the events of President Kennedy’s assassination.

Though only 7 years of age, I can remember in great detail the day of Princess Diana’s untimely death. The same is true of the terrorist attack 10 years to this day.

Russell Brand misses the point, but on the minute of silence he is on to something

Anarchist sewer mouth Russell Brand has hit out against today’s minute of silence in remembrance of those who perished in the dreadful Tunisian beach massacre last week. In a video on his YouTube channel, he describes it as an “empty gesture,” and “bullshit.” I think he is missing the point, but he might be on to something.
