A Sad Day for The UK And The World In General

Mindless MORON's strike at the heart of the British people, if you haven't been living on this planet for the past 48 hours, you may not be aware that London was bombed numerous times within an hour, all during peak morning rush hour. The London tube was disabled and a bus blown apart, this devastation is reputed to have killed some 40 people but the final toll will be somewhat higher.
What drives a person to do such things, I remember in my youth (only just as old age is taking over fast), getting angry and occasionally violent, but I could never bring myself to inflict such injuries and death on anyone, regardless of age, race, colour, religion, gender or for any other reason.
I felt very emotional yesterday because of this atrocious act, and at times had trouble talking about it, I still do today, and I guess I will do for several days to come. Monday I have to travel to London and do a presentation in the heart of this atrocity, I have to be with the customer by 09:00 and so will be traveling with many of the people this terrorist act affected directly. Yes I will be very nervous of this trip, but also I will be VERY proud to be standing up against the terrorists. They WILL NOT get away with this, they will not bring the UK down, we are strong and resourceful, we will hunt you down wherever you are.
