Today terrorists attempted to copy their success in disrupting London, exactly two weeks after the original event. Fortunately, none of the 4 bombs seem to have detonated correctly, leaving some shattered windows but only one person injured.
Listening to the radio this evening I can help but smile at the determined attitude of the people of London today. From the DJ who just opened her show on Virgin Radio by saying "The bastards tried it again," to the many news reports of the public attempting to chase and pin down suspects running from at least two of the bomb scenes.
You have to realise, we've been through this before, and for a long, long time. The IRA terrorised London for years. It seems the more terrorists try to disrupt us, the more determined we get.
I should say I don't personally live in London, but not far from it. My brother lives and works there though, and I felt the traffic chaos two weeks ago. I also felt the wave of passion that swelled out from London over the days following the original event.
Let's hope that the positive attitude continues and the real people responsible are caught soon.
