Resilience is that! A great lesson in British etiquette
(B2) Resilience has become a buzzword, allowing you to say anything and everything. A term so overused that it sometimes becomes quite incomprehensible. On this ground, one can prefer the acts. Faithful to a long tradition, resistant in adversity, the British have just demonstrated to us this weekend what this word can mean.
Despite all the fears, they wanted to organize a big public concert in Manchester on Sunday (June 4), bringing together nearly 50.000 people around stars like Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande. While the threat was not theoretical... - the murderous attack in London had shown it the day before - this reaction of the population, the pop scene and the British authorities, is the right one. We must not stop and stop everything...
This " One Love Manchester “, not tearful for a penny, a little syrupy certainly, but joyful, lyrical and finally loaded with unsaid, is worth all the lockdown imbeciles that we have seen in the past, which have been more a reflection of fear and improvisation (read: Crisis management of the Brussels lockdown: a total and surreal improvisation).
