Stu and I are both safe. All of our friends, and our friends' friends are accounted for and safe. London is hauling itself back to its feet, trains are running, buses are running, but people are in a state of disbelief. It's surreal watching TV footage of places I walk regularly, tube lines I travel on frequently, lined with ambulances, body bags, forensic police. That murder on this scale should occur in my back yard makes no sense to me. London is one of the most multicultural cities I've ever experienced. We live side-by-side and together - colour, race, religion, it makes no difference, we coexist, for the most part peacefully and comfortably. Why kill and maim ordinary people, of every colour, race and religion, who were just going about their daily lives? These weren't the decision-makers, the war-mongerers, the invaders, the politicians - these were everyday people just getting on with living in their every day way. Their deaths change nothing on a global or political scale. What did the murderers hope to achieve?

Fear is not instilled in the hearts of anyone. If anything, London is giving a huge 'F**k Y**' to the terrorists by having public transport up and running within 24 hours and people going straight back into the city. We are not cowed. We are not afraid. We are getting up and getting on with it.

It was never a case of 'if there is a terrorist attack', it was always, always, a case of 'when'. And, today, at least 50 people are dead - fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers. Today the bodies are being recovered from the trains and bus. Today families are receiving phone calls that people should never have to receive. Today the questions begin - who did this? Could this have been prevented? How do we make sure it never happens again?

Thank you for all your texts and emails. The network was heavily congested yesterday so I apologise if you didn't hear from me for quite a while - I was trying to get through, and I know some of the texts got lost. Take good care. And tell the people you love that you love them.
