When there were those bomb blasts in Mumbai a few years ago - people were queuing up to get on to the next possible train/ bus. The attitude was not "I'm British" though. It was more like "Que sera sera - I cant afford another Casual leave - got to get to the office!!". :) Hmm.

Even when the IRA was not active, the right wingers have had no problems taking the law into their own hands. While I was there, I remember atleast three bombs clearly (the IRA one outside the BBC, the nailbomb in the gay club in Soho and the one in Brick Lane). And this is nothing compared to what went on in the 80s. Isn’t it funny how everyone seems to have forgotten that London is no stranger to bombs?

The 7/7 blasts did hurt the "How dare you! I'm British!" attitude. <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1165397.cms" rel="nofollow">And although there is not much noise, there does exist an uneasy calm</a>.

Compare that to our braindead media that justifies bombings as retaliatory. But we are soooooo secular. Interestingly there is an essay competition on Secularism. Wonder if Teesta Setalvad will be one of the judges. I think the results are a foregone conclusion.
