I didn't read the OP as implied disrespect for anyone or anything. I read it as asking why are we having a minutes silence for this one. A few people seem to wonder why we should as well. People who say not being in favour of it means you must be anti British haven't really thought it through. They are just making up insults as they go.

When I read the question it struck me as odd that it needed asking, but of course if someone honestly doesn't know why - then perhaps I was judgemental in my first thought.

I didn't think 'Minutes Silence' was a new concept.

I have said nothing I don't mean - are you implying differently?


I have simply realised that the OP may not have come across the concept before - it is possible.

Question Author
Nutcases like ISIS will be pleased to see they are being noticed in the UK. Seeing the whole nation in mourning will greatly encouraged them.

Rather than being anti-British, I find this whole thing to be very un-British. We haven't had National Silences for other attacks or tragedies. Lee Rigby didn't get one, IRA victims didn't, Hyde Park or Warrington killings didn't get one.

I was not surprised when France held a national silence for their terrorist victims. France have a different temperament than us. That we should do the same a few months later seems more than a coincidence. And un-British.

The renegade forum, Bathy ( I think)

Agree with everyone who say it was a question that did not need asking.
Minutes silences go on everywhere, mostly they are place specific city, town village ( think Liverpool, Bradford ) but on this occasion..............

I really can not see why it would irk anyone into asking 'why'
