Two minute silence

[ciphergoth]

At 12:00 BST today, London and many around the world observed a two minute silence for the 48 people who died in the terrorist attacks on London on 7 July.

During those two minutes, approximately 42 children worldwide died due to poverty.

We are not going to let terrorists cause us to lose perspective.

I agree - giving people money or food isn't going to fix it - but it is going to take money to fix the underlying problems.

Things like wiping out the debt of poorer countries, setting up fair trade laws and sorting out farming subsidies
