Mum vs Woodlich Terrorists

Not that I minded but I would have only come to know about this much later if not for my friend in Seattle emailing me about this.

The mail came with a subject line, "the incredible bravery of women in London yesterday". I didn't think there was a woman involved. I thought the police arrived and shot the two when they tried to attack them.

I read her email and hunted down the YouTube clip of this courageous woman, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett. British media have reported her brave act widely. She represented the best of what is British, a throwback to the blitz. This is the hidden strength of Britons which is often hidden. What we have often been presented were the louts and hooligans especially around soccer.
