The incidents in London this morning have been unpleasant, but are really not unexpected. Anyone would have expected London to become a terror target with the Olympics being awarded yesterday. Add that tothe G8 Summit and attempts to disrupt that, and you have prime publicity for malefactors.

In the UK we are used to bombings from WW1 (few) WW2 (many, and yes we bombed too) and the IRA (funded by Noraid, mostly). We tend to react with initial shock and then ignore it.

Our hearts are with the victims and families.
