‘It was very moving - extraordinary circumstances to be
doing it, and an extraordinary set of people to be doing it with.
‘The memory I will have is people leaning
out of their windows of all ages with tricolours - the French flag - incredibly
proud of their country, proud of their democracy, proud of freedom of speech,
and these great signs saying `I am Charlie. I am a police officer. I am a Jew'.
‘People of all ages wanting to show real
solidarity. I think we should recognise the values that we have in European
countries of believing in democracy and free speech, freedom of expression, the
right to offend people and be offended.
‘These are not sources of weakness against
this terrorist threat, they are sources of strength.
'They are what make us great economies,
great countries, great societies and it was great to see that in action today.’

卡梅倫說：「人們不分長幼地表現出真正的團結。我想我們應該認識到歐洲國家民主自由的價值觀—言論自由、表達自由、冒犯和被冒犯的權利。這些不是對恐怖威脅的示弱而是力量，他們成就了我們強大的經濟、強大的國家、社會，這一切都體現在我們今天在巴黎的行動中。」
