London, bombs, etc.
This will be my only post discussing this topic. I don't see why I should waste my time blethering about the actions of a few lunatics who think they can serve their cause by attacking London. I think there's evidence enough both in the news and right here that they got it completely wrong. If you want to cause terror, if your intent is to frighten people into doing what you want, there are very few places you could expect less of a reaction than London. People are annoyed, yes. People are inconvenienced. Some will have to cope with loss and bereavement. None will be terrified. None will be convinced of your point of view. If anything, this act has simply made London, and Britain, more resolved to never, ever give in to you. You've failed. You misjudged an entire nation. We're the old school, and you do not fuck with us. We will be around long after you're gone, drinking tea and discussing just how pathetic you were in the grand scheme of things. As for retaliation, I hope our leaders realise that you're not worth our time and the lives of our soldiers. You're a petty annoyance. You deserve nothing but our contempt.
