With all due respect, I tend to agree with that statement.

While the poems, declarations of hope, non-defeatist attitudes are heart-warming, I do think they are misguided to think that love will conquer all.

Their poems, however eloquent, won't perturb the terrorists, promising to congregate at concerts as per normal, does nothing to dissuade them from plotting their next bomb attack - in fact, it probably encourages complacency and plays into the terrorists hands IMO....

Sorry to sound harsh, but the only glimmer of light I see, is the explosion of more bombs... unfortunately, these horrific events will continue with regularity, as the West with their open door immigration policy, have let the enemy into their bosom... the cancer is there, prevention is far too late now.

Err, Dick, which bit of 'you have more chance of being decapitated by a fucking frisbee than death at the hand of a terrorist' do you not comprehend?

This welling up of cheap sentiment is a dreadful ritualisation currently en vogue among the lower end whose addiction to the mawkish has been stimulated and encouraged by a parasitical social media obsessed with ephemera, faux celebrity celebration and a prurient fascination with just about anyone and anything except their own miserable, worthless, meaningless existence.

They communicate in cliche, callow slogans and glib babble re-gurgitated from the inane chatter they capture on their phones and trash TV.

It ain't real Dick, it's shit.

There is no cancer of terrorism, its just incidental criminality and it's a feature of life.

We in the British Isles have endured a campaign of 30 years of the worst terrorism that has existed within a developed, western, liberal democracy but the people then were tougher, more resilient, more self-reliant, more stoical and infinitely more resourceful in dealing with tragedy than the current generation of enfeebled pussies wallowing in their self-pity and all embracing self indulgent lachrymose mawkish navel gazing.

This emotional claptrap of I'HEART'MCR is nauseating.
