Resistance is Useful

Today saw the third set of events that make it seem like the London bombs are not a flash in the pan, so to speak. Parts of the London underground went into chaos - well, more chaos than usual - as armed police shot dead a suspect in a crowded tube carriage. Sensibly, many Londoners are treating it all as another local hazard and going about their lives as usual, sometimes with good humour. If they continue bending the stick towards a state of panic, the authorities can be relied upon to make a drama out of a crisis. Londoners will need to rely on their own judgement in these matters.
