Official figures say 49 have died, 65 still in hospital and who knows how many still underground.

The are only two sure things.

There are more to be added to the fatalities list.

The terrorists have hit the wrong target - big time!

They will not change the way we think, the way we live or our response to them. They do not terrorise us, we will not allow them to. We have lived with bigger threats than them, more focused threats than them. We did not live in terror, nor will we.

Every time they hurt the innocent, every time they murder the innocent they strengthen our resolve to condemn them, to isolate them and to ignore their aims.

It matters not who they are.

It matters no more how just they feel their cause is.

It matters not their reasons.

(Done a different way.......who knows....maybe it would all matter.)

They lower themselves, they belittle themselves and they show themselves as cowards.

Every bomb, every death confirms our belief that they are ashamed of their own thoughts, their own mandate. If it was one that they thought was legitimate there would be dialogue, not bombs.

This country has made mistakes with the bombs it faced in the past, this country has given voices to those that should not have a right to speak.

Given the right to speak - the bombers have failed to sustain support, respect or power - even over the people they say they represent.

Terrorist only survive in this world if we agree to live in a state of terror.

I don't.

I won't.
