It is one year since the 7/7 bombings. How did people feel today? Did it bring back memories? Have any lessons been learnt since 7/7? Have we changed as individials or as a community? Do we need to change?

I was spat on today by two white people in their car...whether it was 7/7 retribution or just racist thugs i dont know? Anyone else had any bad experiences since 7/7?
