Frankly, for the most part, it's business as usual. The BBC showed it best (as usual) by going through a thorough summary three hours after the attacks and then went to the weather. Even under fire, we still have time to learn whether it's going to rain or not.
I love my country and its capital.
The British wouldn't be the British if they weren't utterly unflappable. Heck, they regularly put up with Prince Charles, that should inure anyone to sudden bursts of. . . unpredictability.

Exactly what I was going to say. And I don't think there is a country less prone to knee-jerk reactions and blame laying, than England.
It is too easy in today's day and age for any idiot with a computer to claim it as the actions of their organization. Plus, as OLDENGLANDDRY stated, the Al Qaeda would have to be pretty stupid or egotistical to think that they could do something to England the Nazi's couldn't.
I'd like to take a moments silence for the poor souls caught in the path of narrow-minded, fanatical, idiocy....

Nevertheless, as Chuchill said 60 years ago: "London can take it"
Five years of Nazi bombings did'nt break us.
Fifty years of IRA attacks did'nt even make a dent.
It will take more than a few fanatics to make us Duck and Cover.
Tomorow we carry on.
Full English breakfast, cup of tea and then on with the working day.
The Terrorist has no weapon if you are not terrified.
Well said; I second that.
