To those who wish us harm

My city is alive, and you may not have its joy. Batter it with ugliness, it cannot not be destroyed. You may not taint the palette of its people with your hate; Your lies have no religion, and your murder has no race. You will not terrorise us (though in moments we are terrified). We’ll mourn the dead Then forge ahead. My city is alive.

Thoughts are with the people in London at this time, a woman has died and others are seriously injured, parliament is on lockdown and the PM has been evacuated

With this going on, it’s still extremely important to remember terrorism has no ethnicity or religion. Instead of preaching Islamophobic hate and blaming muslims for this, we should be focusing on the individuals that carried out this attack

Please don’t standby and let an entire group of people be condemned, once again, for the actions of a few, especially during this time where Trump is the president and is working hard to paint Islam and muslims in the worst light

Suspect that attacked Westminster, according to the BBC Heart goes out to the victims family's, currently 4 have died and over 20 injured.  What would convince you to attack helpless people and police officers, Hopefully anyone involved in the planning will be caught.  Hope they didn’t waste to much medical supplies on him, died already from wounds received from the security forces. Britain Stands Firm!

JustGiving takes over terror victim fundraising page amid fraud concerns

JustGiving has taken over a page to raise funds for the family of Aysha Frade, one of the four victims of Wednesday's terror attack in Westminster, after donors raised concerns about the page's administration.Concerns were raised after donations began to be made to raise money for the family of Aysha Frade. Users who searched for Elisia Evetts - the name listed as the administrator for the page - found someone with the same name had been convicted of fraud in 2013. In response to concerns, the charity issued a statement on the page assuring donors that their donations would be "used as intended". The page, "In Loving Memory of Aysha", which had raised almost £18,000 ($22,450) by Saturday afternoon, had been set up, according to a post, to help Frade's children and family in "their hour of need".

I set this up as a long term means of helping the family, taking into consideration the devastating effect losing a loved one can have on them.

JustGiving, which has been criticised for taking a 5% fee from each donation, also found the username had been changed a number of times since it was first set up. By Saturday morning, the page had raised more than £15,000 for Ms Frade's family. Multiple fundraising pages have been set up to help the loved ones of PC Keith Palmer, who died after being stabbed in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster. An official Metropolitan Police Federation memorial page, launched on Thursday, had raised nearly £700,000 on Saturday. The 43-year-old was killed when Khalid Masood drove a 4x4 vehicle into crowds of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge on Wednesday.'Psychopathic' Westminster attacker Khalid Masood terrorised ex-wife, family reveals JustGiving takes over terror victim Aysha Frade fundraising page amid fraud concerns

This gives a clear indication of what the public thinks of my colleagues. I'm not surprised at all. I've been told to leave it open because it's for people to show their respects, and how they want to do it. It's just amazing - amazing - the generosity of individuals

Sadiq Khan was not saying anything controversial for most Londoners when he said that terror attacks are a fact of life in a big city. They are. There is no denying this, unless you’re some American news outlet or Ukip type obsessed with pointing out that Khan is a Muslim. Big cities have always been targets, especially London because of the symbolism. But what the world needs to know, and some Londoners need to remember, is that we do not take this lying down. Today’s attack was horrendous - the fact is it could have been far worse. The preparations made in the assumption of an attack on UK soil will have saved countless lives. As such, one of the primary aims of such attacks- extensive death and damage- has been lessened. The secondary aim of such attacks is to sow fear and disunity among us. We know this from 7/7. And therefore it is crucial that we stand together. We stand united. We let whoever perpetrated this attack know that we will not be turned against each other. Our diversity is our strength, and we must defend it from those who seek to use it as a weapon- both inside and outside the UK.
