Ben Nicolson- Singapore's National Squash League player of Singapore Cricket Club. An injured victim of the Easter holiday carnage in Sri Lanka. Ben lost his wife Anita, his son Alex & daughter Annabelle in the atrocity.

What dignity.

🙏🙏

I can't begin to understand the pain he's going through. I lost my mother to old age the beginning of March. To lose his loved ones to such a cowardly barbaric act of murder the pain must be impossible to bear. Sincere heartfelt condolences.

Heart breaking.

Who ever they are and the country they come from, turn their country into a bloody carpark and be done with it. Until mass revenge take place these ass wipes will continue.

Islam. Just Islam. A doctrine called jihad with the sickening concept of martyrdom. When will the loathsome left, Labour, BBC understand? And why are we letting the likes of Sayeeda Warsi and Naz Shah usher in blasphemy laws to bolster jihadists here?

Christianophobia.

Who could be attacking “Hotels & Churches?”

This was a deliberate act of terrorism, what is wrong with the bbc

It's not an explosions. It wasn't a gas boiler going off. It was an act of terror against people worshipping God. Terrorism.

Sad, very sad.

I Will Do Any Type Business Card Design With Print Ready

According to the Brit. PM theresa_may it was only an attack on buildings & churches...What is wrong with that woman...10DowningStreet

That must be absolutely heartbreaking :( couldn't imagine what it must be like to go through
