Firsthand accounts from LiveJournal users in and around London:


--------------------------------------
The best response to the blasts came from Ken Livingston, the Mayor of London.
"I know that you personally do not fear to give your own life in exchange for taking others. That is why you are so dangerous. But I know you do fear that you will fail in your long-term objective to destroy our free society. I can show you why you will fail. In the days that follow, look at our airports, look at our seaports and look at our railway stations. And even after your cowardly attack you will see that people from the rest of Britain, people from around the world will arrive in London to become Londoners, to fulfil their dreams and achieve their potential. They choose to come to London as many have come before because they come to be free. They come to live the life they choose, they come to be themselves. They flee you, because you tell them how they should live."

Bush had a chance to show real sympathy, but instead, we get this:
"The war on terror goes on."
WTF?! Asshole. I suspect that both Bush and Blair will use this tragedy to justify a war in a country where Al Qaeda *didn't even exist* until after we invaded. Sure would've been nice if our respective governments had spent the last four years concentrating on Al Qaeda instead, rather than lying to their people to drag them into Iraq.
My advice to the people of Britain? Take the day off and spend it with friends and loved ones. If you're in London and have a car, give others who took the train a lift home. Have a nice cup of tea. Try to relax and go about your ordinary routine. Get to know your neighbors and even perfect strangers. Don't be afraid. Don't let the terrorists win.
Expect lots of updates as the day goes on.
