Hi guys, I too live in London and when the bombs went off I said "bad
**** happens" like so many others must have said.

This is definitely a grim situation. Of course we are all shocked.
But at the same time maybe we should take a little break and be less
dour.

In the Blitz,


What's a Blitz?


A series of thousands of planes dropping tonnnes of munitions
simultaeously. London survived that, and put on an olympics 3 years
after the war. So these muslim ******s don't know what they're up
against here. We'll **** the lot of them.

Look, I'd be grateful if you saved the "dogged determination" and "bulldog
spirit" for the day that we're faced with some last-ditch battle against
overwhelming odds for the capital. To summon up all this excess verbiage
simply because the little rash which in the 21st century afflicts every
major capital has arrived here, and not even unexpectedly, is just plain
silly. Yes, the deaths of fifty people in such incidents is tragic, and the
exploit ranks among one of the most serious and bloody crimes committed in
London in many years, but please don't lose your perspective. Why? Because
that's one of the terrorist's intentions, that you lose your sense of
proportion and indulge in inflammatory language concerning innocent people
unfortunate enough to have been born into the Muslim faith.
Don't be the terrorist's surrogate. Don't indulge in comparisons between
this event and "London in the blitz", etc. If you are under 70 years of age
you have no actual memories of that conflict anyway, so stop wallowing in
nostalgia for times you never experienced, or only experienced second-hand.
Be a genuine Londoner, the person you really are, not some stuffed
bulldog-breed with a Union jack on the chest you saw once in a souvenir shop
window.
The red London bus was an iconic target. Don't be an iconic victim.
