Fresh comments about the current terrorist situation in London, written whilst it occurs.
Cheers of jubilation for securing the Olypics in 2012 were abruptly distorted into screams of fear.
Disruption, chaos and panic were met with professionalism, caring and the kick in of a huge, practiced security force machine that has been waiting for this hit.

Anticipated, but not expected. Not today anyway. Maybe tomorrow, or some time in the future. Not in our backyard.

Unfocused eyes stare at screens and huddle around radios and ignore the piles of work on desks and phones that ring.

Priorities have shifted now.

If you and yours are not hurt, there is a distancing of the situation. Far removed from the cornflakes of the commuters usual morning ritual.

Its a shame.

Freshly done. London blooded.

What next!
