This is a reminder with exactly how resiliant the Brits are...
"We took on the Romans, the Saxons, the Danes, the French, William Wallace, the Black Plague, the Roundheads, the Great Fire, Napoleon, the Nazis, and the Blitz, and we're still here. You terrorists are bloody amateurs."

BBC Parliament internal email: NEWSFLASH:There has been a widespread outbreak of grumbling and tutting today in London, along with a large number of people going home instead of to work, with a certain amount of guilty pleasure. Sorry, bad guys. We've been bombed before, and we just adjust our day to account for it. This is London calling.

Give 'em hell, Londoners.

I keep having this vision of high up IRA guys sitting around a table somewhere and being pissed off about yesterdays events. "We bomb London, it's ours, get your hands off our turf!"

Contrasting this reaction to the sheer outrage America went through after the September 11th attacks makes me realize just how new we still are as a country.
