The racist opinion. Mainly a variety of 'kill all the Muslims' and 'send them home' filth.
We're closing early tonight, at 5:00 pm rather than 8:00 pm. The guy who was complaining the most about not leaving in the mid-afternoon has already left, despite the fact he was picked up by car by his partner and they live in the next borough along. My line manager, who is having to stay with a friend because she otherwise would have faced the impossible journey of north to south London, is still here and will work until 5:00, because she's not a skiver.
Already reports seem to be that things are getting back to normal. Trains and buses seem to be slowly coming back. Americans living in London have been talking about how impressed they are by that 'bulldog spirit', absolute crap, but we have had plenty of experience of the IRA trying to bomb us, so we don't go to pieces in a crisis. I expect most people know will be starting to think "hang on, three-day holiday!"
