Terrorist Attacks in London yet London remains calm

I must say that if Al-Qaeda believe that we in Britain are 'burning with fear' then they are mistaken. Naturally the British public find these actions shocking and disruptive but what is remarkable is the sense of calm and control that exists here.

Everybody is grateful to all the emergency services. The real sense of calmness that exists at this time is a reflection of the professionalism and preparedness of our emergency services, and the good planning by our leaders - I think sometimes we forget to say thank you to leaders when they get it right.

My thoughts and prayers, like many others, are with those families who have been affected by these atrocities.
