The “Spirit of London” is a woman having to approach a bloody terrorist while the men hide behind lampposts and watch? Piers Morgan will be proud.

The posted story says she was born in France and immigrated to Britain.

Hey, what the hell are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?

Apparently that is how things work nowadays in Britain.

Think of her as a hostage negotiator: she kept them talking for twenty minutes until an armed response arrived.

I would have liked to see a mob response but unless I was sure of my mob, I’d hope to have the guts to keep them talking as she did.

And she was VERY lucky they seem to have regarded women as off-limits.

Why didn’t a group gang up on the Islamic wackjob and beat the hell out of him?

“That’s the spirit of London,” declared the mayor, Boris Johnson. Ironic to say the least.

Harsh language, that will do it. Worked in the movie Aliens.

I think you’ve summed it up. Grinning and bearing it was not the spirit of London under Churchill.

But since a grade school teacher, no matter how idiotic her obvious belief in the “coexist” bumper sticker, had more nerve than any of the men or even the gate officers there sure says a lot about the real spirit of London.

They could have easily killed her too. She’s lucky to be alive.

...and meanwhile David Cameron ought to hang his head in shame for his stupid remarks defending the Religion of Peace, Islam.

What color is the sky in his bizarro world?

Sorry, but the ‘Spirit of London’ was the dead troop lying on the sidewak.

Yeesh. I don't mean to criticize this woman in saying this, but if its considered heroic in Britain to give a killer a "stern talking to", then God help them. You kill killers, you arrest and lock up killers. You don't just give them a "stern talking to."

Because a majority of men in our world have been sisified. I’m noticing this more and more - men running and hiding or standing around watching and doint nothing.

It’s a disgrace!

What is it going to take to make men REALLY mad and finally “stand up”?

‘Grinning and bearing it was not the spirit of London under Churchill.’

Yes it was. ‘Keep calm and carry on’.
