It's just another day in Mayor Sadiq's multicultural neighborhood where flash burns are part of the morning commutte, sex grooming gangs enrich our culture and terrorism is something you learn to shrug off.
The latest bombing yet again targeted commuters, a favorite target of Islamic terrorists, and the 23 injured people, many of them suffering from flash burns had better realize that this is the price of pluralism.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan told CNN there would be "an enhanced police presence" across London's public transport system and urged people to be "vigilant and alert" -- but not alarmed."What we've seen in the last period across Europe is attempts by evil and cowardly individuals to kill, to injure and to disrupt our way of life and what we're not going to do is allow them to change how we live our lives, to be pluralistic, to be respectful," he said.
"We will do all we can to keep our city, to keep Londoners, to keep visitors, to keep businesses safe."
He added: "We are a safe global city."
Very safe. Please pay no attention to all the Islamic terror.
London is still safer than Islamabad or Beirut. For now.
And we need to be "respectful". That means arresting anyone who criticises Islam on YouTube. That too is part of the price we must pay.
