I'm probably the most emotional person about this in my office at the moment...after people phoned their relatives to ensure they were OK, they went back to work.
They can disrupt, they can cause concern, but we carry on.

I think we can count on our British cousins to do the right thing. True, there will be a percentage of the population willing to capitulate, just as there is in the U.S. But the majority will have none of it. I'd say they should have attacked France, but they have no need to do so because they already own the French (assuming this is radical Islam at work).
They can disrupt, they can cause concern, but we carry on.
The Nazis couldn't do it in The Blitz, the people of Great Britain showed that civilians could perservere over one of the greatest military machines the world had ever seen.
The resolve of your people is legendary and inspiring. I have no doubt that you will prevail!

Well said. That should be the motto for all of us in this strange time of unconventional, "asymmetric", war. If this is the work of terrorists (not yet confirmed?), I pray we have the fortitude to deal with people who carry their grudges for centuries.
In the meantime, prayers for you and your country. Hang in there.
The British, have been Bombed before London was burning, Hitler tried to break the Will of the British People and he could not succeed. The Muslim Terrorists have unleashed a Tuff and Powerful People that will Prevail. My Prayers to all the People in London that were Hurt by these Animals. Tony Blair on Now.
And that is the British heart which survived the bombings of WW2. My dear father served from an airbase in your country during that time and from the stories he told of the British people's courage, I have always felt a kinship. And now this. We feel your anguish, anger, and sorrow. Your country is in our prayers.

I've lived in England and know the British people well. The British are as resolute and imperturbable as the Spanish are feckless and panicky.
Terrorists shall learn a hard lesson dearly.
