London

Our hearts go out to the friends and family of those who lost their lives in London today. I have little say other than a great sense of reflected pride in the way Londoners and the English deal with these sorts of events. Without wailing or hand-wringing, panic or fear, everyone who’s been interviewed, even those caught up in the blasts and the press themselves, represent the best of a traditional and possibly even stereotypical British attitude. Calm and collected in the direst of circumstances.

The emergency services were incredible. To deal with 4 separate, nearly simultaneous blasts and then for the city to roll back to a sensible normalacy within hours is just amazing.
