Inspiring works from mayor of London:
"I wish to speak directly to those who came to London today to take
life.
"I know that you personally do not fear giving up your own life in
order to take others -- that is why you are so dangerous. But I know
you fear that you may fail in your long-term objective to destroy
our free society and I can show you why you will fail.
"In the days that follow look at our airports, look at our sea ports
and look at our railway stations and, even after your cowardly
attack, you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people
from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners and
to fulfil their dreams and achieve their potential.
"They choose to come to London, as so many have come before because
they come to be free, they come to live the life they choose, they
come to be able to be themselves. They flee you because you tell
them how they should live. They don't want that and nothing you do,
however many of us you kill, will stop that flight to our city where
freedom is strong and where people can live in harmony with one
another. Whatever you do, however many you kill, you will fail."
