1. That's Right

London has experienced terror attacks for decades. This is nothing new to them.

Heck, even I was inconvenienced by a terror attack there about 25 years ago. My mother and I were in London and saw Les Miserables. I suggested that, instead of taking the tube back, we could take a bus and see the city at night. As we were riding along, it appeared that the bus was not following the route that was on the map. Another passenger asked the conductor why and he said it was because there had been a bomb on the route. We arrived at Victoria Station just a few minutes late.

Their grandparents lived through Nazi bombing for years. They're made of sterner stuff.

3. It's not real; there's a website that generates 'boards' like this

Fake tube sign read out on BBC News and in Commons after Westminster attack

A London tube sign with a defiant message for terrorists that went viral in the wake of Wednesday’s attack on Westminster was created by an online tube sign generator and never existed in a London underground station.

Yet that did not stop the sign being shared and disseminated as though it had been written by London Underground staff. It was read out by Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4’s flagship news programme Today.

Before midday it was even discussed in parliament when it was read out by MP Simon Hoare. Theresa May called it “a wonderful tribute” which “encapsulated everything everybody in this house has said today.”
...
The sign generator was created by Yorkshire-based developer Tim Waters. In 2015, he was asked by a lawyer from TfL to take down the website because the organisation was concerned it was being used to circulate racist messages.

5. Stiff upper lip

Brits have been through hell from Nazi Germany, Northern Ireland, and other radicals. They've had quite a history with their colonial days shaping much of the world as we know it today.
