<<All this talk about getting back to normal. The fact is the majority of people living and working in London don't have any choice. It's either get to work or be out of a job. I'd give anything not to have to do it every day!
Janet, Essex, England

I use Liverpool Street station every day and I have a message for the people behind this atrocity. I am not scared. Like my friends and colleagues I am angry but you will not scare us and you will not change our way of lives. If your aim was to cause long term panic and terror then you have failed. You have not weakened our resolve you have hardened it.

London is not getting back to anything approaching normal. Sure people are using public transport, going to work to show that we can't be beaten. But I run a market stall in one of London's main market area and there was NO-ONE around today. Our takings were down 80%, proving that people are only venturing past their front doors when they deem it strictly necessary.
