A customer who was evacuated from a restaurant during the terror attack in London on Saturday night returned the next morning to pay his bill and tip the heroic staff.

Richard Angell was having dinner in Arabica Bar and Kitchen in Borough Market when the three terrorists began attacking people in the area.

Respect. That's the British stiff upper lip the rest of us count on. Nice to see it still exists with the man in the street. Civilized behavior in the midst of a shit storm.

[Nifster]

Any honest customer should have done the same

[Sasparilla]

The Brits’ “Keep calm. And carry on” attitude.

[Sequoyah101]

One decent man. Maybe Sodom will be saved.

[sheehan]

unfortunately, Richard Angell is represents a dwindling minority in the UK as the Muzzies lay siege...

[libertylover]

Classy.

It’s the right thing to do.

Too bad it’s newsworthy.

[GnuThere]

Maybe it will occur to some more to do so if they see this story. That would be cool.

Abraham only queried down to ten.

[null and void]

Waddaya mean? It's only newsworthy because it's rare.

*oh* nvrmnd

Must be a freeper

[ameribbean expat]

Probably the Telegraph’s objective.

[peggybac]

Decent act. Too bad he had to announce it.

[al baby]

perhaps it was to spur others to do the right thing

[raybbr]

How was the staff “heroic”? Did they stop the terrorists?

eturned the next morning to pay his bill and tip the heroic staff

Restaurant tipping in Britain? I'm skeptical. It has the ring of a fake news item, but for what purpose?

> Mr Angell, director of the left-leaning think tank Progress, told Buzzfeed News: “These people shouldn’t win. This is the best city in the world, and Borough Market is one of my favourite bits of the best city in the world. I’m not going to let the barbaric acts of cowardly people minimise that.”

It’s leftist preening/virtue signalling.

[Romulus]

Arabica Bar and Kitchen. Gotta love London’s ethnic diversity.

[Deplorable American1776]

Nice to see that. He did something honest.

[Ransomed]

“Angell said it’s important people keep a stiff upper lip and not let terrorists stop you from partying.

“If me having a G&T in a nice bar, flirting with handsome men, upsets them — I’m going to do it more,” he said.”

Truly an icon of masculine British partying fortitude.
