Piers Morgan makes passionate speech on London attack

From Digital Spy

Piers Morgan has made a passionate speech praising the heroes who helped during yesterday's (March 22) Westminster terror attack.

Piers and Susanna Reid presented today's Good Morning Britain from Westminster where Piers delivered his anti-terror speech, highlighting that we should focus on the heroes, not the terrorist.

"We should focus too on these heroes. That policeman who gave his life, that MP who tried to save his life. It's important to focus on the people that did great things yesterday," he stated.

"This terrorist who decided he would try to change our lives, they will never win, they will never do that. Hitler tried to do that to this city, this country. We had it on 7/7, we had it with the IRA, it won't work.

"We just have to stand firm. This is just one lunatic in a car who wanted to change our lives. He will not succeed."

Piers's speech has led to praise on social media for his coverage of the tragic events in London.

On last night's The Late Late Show, James Corden paid an emotional tribute to his hometown of London following the attack, saying that "all [his] thoughts go out to anyone who has been affected by this".

"When something like that happens in your hometown, you don't have a feeling of being glad you're so far away. What you feel is you wish you could be there with loved ones to stand alongside them," he explained.

"This act of terrorism was supposed to divide the people of London, I know for a fact that all something like this does is bring them closer together as one. Tonight we send our heartfelt thoughts to everyone in Britain. Stay safe everybody please."

The attack in Westminster, which is being treated as a terrorist incident, left four people dead, including a police officer and the attacker, as well as 40 injured.
