Re: Two minute silence
I see where Stu's coming from, although I observed the 2 minutes silence and was happy to do so. But when I observed it, I wasn't just contemplating the bombings of one year ago, I was thinking about ALL the victims of this stupid and senseless conflict on both sides.

I think that's the best approach to take here. I'd agree the 2 minutes silence is a cynical and manipulative way for the government to try and make us take their side in the "war on terror" (emotional blackmail) but they can't influence who or what we choose to honour with our silence. You need to make the silence personal to you and not let yourself be influenced by what the government tells you to think.

(PS: Do I get bonus cred points for posting this message from a Home Office computer? )
