I notice the British aren't peeing their pants over the recent attempts. They're more concerned about the rain, and they've thrown out the politician most associated with the "code orange" hysterics that are politics as usual over here.
Not too bothered about it all my dears. Boms come, bombs go, London endures. If I get blown up, I'll be bloody annoyed, but there you go; I'll come back and haunt the terrorist bastard's dreams: more than that I cannot foresee. Thankfully the chaps involved this time, despite being doctors (what is going on), proved hellish incompetant. Probably something to do with the Hippocratic oath being rather in conflict with normal terrorist goals. Ineptitude aside, even when we had chaps who were efficient at this sort of thing (ie The Boyos), it didn't change our behaviour much. Even the Blitz didn't really get Londoners to change too much, at least not in essentials. The trick now is to get these deluded idiots to spill their contacts and networks, and then see if they can redeem themselves in any way. Ideally, there would be some leper colony that needed medics....
Another true statement and you can see those posting here who think that the war is, "a bumper sticker, and thats all its ever been."
As for London reacting/not reacting..what would you like to see? The city grind to a halt? People not leaving their homes? Is that what you are looking for? If so, you and the terrorists are looking for the same results.
Also, the argument that terrorists come from poor and low education has gone out the window with this last incident.

"Lose" is the verb, and "loose" is the adjective.
