Four Explosions in London.

[daylyn]

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in London right now. No one should ever have to experience the horror caused by sensless, cowardly terrorist acts. God, WTF is wrong with this world? I literally feel sick to my stomach by this.

Hope everyone is alright.

The not knowing is the hardest part, isn't it? I'm glad to hear that your Dad is OK.

And the British 'stiff upper lip' is one of the things I love most about your country. One of my LJ friends, son_of_darkness had the best quote about it:

"Not seriously" isn't quite the term, but I know what you mean. It's the British reaction. The yes-okay-but-where's-my-tea-I-want-to-watch-Corrie response. You feel like going "Damn, I wish it was the French, it's fun to blame them for everything". When the news reporter said "Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea" I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? TEA DAMMIT! And if it's really serious, they may bring out the coffee. The Americans have their alert raised to red, we break out the coffee. That's for situations more serious than this of course. Like another England penalty shoot-out."

I'm going off to make a cup of tea right now, and thinking of everyone in London while I drink it.
