Re: Explosion at Manchester Arena
Surely not.
Our country was attacked, my city was attacked and 22 innocent people died....I'd have been pretty upset had this thread not become so passionate.
I see the children of Baghdad don't deserve the same attention....maybe we should be more concerned at the lack of attention given to that thread?
