Did any of you catch Vanessa Feltz reciting this poem on Thursday?
Here it is and it sums up London & it's feeling. It was read out in the afternoon of the bombings!! It should be put on plaques at the various sites??

Following the bombing atrocities in the capital, Vanessa read out this poem by 94.9fm listener Chris Neal - summing up many listeners' feelingshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/f/t.gif

London Pride
You come to place your bags of hate
On bus and train, you made us late
Yet we’ll be back again tomorrow
We’ll carry on despite our sorrow
Your bags of hate caused some to die
Yet we stride out strong with heads held high
You’ll never win, we will not bow
You can’t defeat us, you don’t know how
This London which we love with pride
Is a town where scum like you can’t hide
Don’t worry we will hunt you down
Then Lock you up in name of Crown
We’re London and we’re many races
Just look you’ll see our stoic faces
We all condemn your heinous act
You will not win and that’s a fact
We’ll mourn our dead and shed a tear
But we will not bow to acts of fear
You’re out there somewhere all alone
There’s nowhere now you can call home
Olympics ours we’ve won the race
Your timing then a real disgrace
Our strength you’ll find remains unbowed
We’re London and we’re very proud.
