You know, I never really liked going into work, especially as it takes me well over an hour to get into London everyday. But tomorrow....well, tomorrow I'm going in early. Because I want to be with my colleagues, my friends, to be in London. As a big 'fuck-you' to those people, whoever they may be, who try to break our city. I didn't see anything horrendous, or get covered in blood, or suddenly find myself on an open-top bus, but if this has affected me in this way, just imagine how those in the centre of it all are feeling now.
We all knew we were at risk from this kind of attack, anyone who lives or works in London has it in the back of their minds as we all squash onto tubes and buses in the mornings. And when I go down the escalators, underneath the tallest building in Britain, I often wonder what would happen to us if it all came crashing down. And now this has suddenly been brought a little closer to home. You know that icy sweep that goes over you? The same feeling I got when I first started to realise what was going on this morning, a prickle all over. And as the hours go by it starts to turn into something else, a stubbornness - DAMN YOU, I'm going into work and I'll get on the train every morning and every night, and as I approach the Wharf, and catch sight of 1 Canada square dominating the entire skyline of London, I'll feel something building. It's not something that's been weakened by todays events, it's been strengthened, reinforced and I feel part of London more than I ever did. And I'm fucking PROUD of it too.
