I don’t travel to London often, I haven’t been there for years and I have no need to go there now. In fact after today you could say I had a good reason to stay away.
Which is why as early as possible on Saturday my wife and I will be leaving our lovely car at home and getting on a train in order to travel the hundred or so miles to central London. Where we will take a few touristy sights in, certainly take a trip in the London eye, hit some bookshops, enjoy a nice open-air dinner and generally enjoy ourselves in one of the world’s finest cities.
Why?
Because the vermin behind today would hate that.
Because I’m British and I guess that’s what we do when you try and scare us.
Because I may lose a battle, but I will never surrender or refuse to fight.
Most of all, because today someone bombed London. If they hadn’t, I wouldn’t be going, but now every Islamic terrorist on earth couldn’t keep me away.

Good work, over there. Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Bloody hell I'm pompous when I try.
Sorry Michele, please delete the above comment, far too much Vodka yet again.
