Does It Still Mean Anything?

2-minute silences in rememberance of September 11, 2001. Does it still mean anything? How long are we going to do this for? When will I be able to opt-out of pretending to keep still for two minutes at work with everyone else. God knows the last thing on my mind is what happened those many moons ago.

Football supporters have opted for 2-minute applause plus wolf-whistle combo cos frankly, if you're as figgety as I am, you're just looking for something to do for those 2-minutes.

Dont get me wrong, I was here too when it happened. I understand the gravity of what happened but 5 years is a long time for people that werent directly affected by something to care about that deeply. I havent forgotten, I just wanna know how many more of my two-minutes I have to give up so people dont look at me funny.

Maybe next they'll forget to sound that alarm.

Question: How long did it take for people to stop having 2-minute silences in rememberance of the Holocaust (in the UK)?
