Great Britain has been attacked in a series of terrible atrocities. The day we all expected to one day come, but prayed wouldn't, has arrived. I am so thankful that all my friends who live in London are safe and well, and my deepest condolences are with the people and familes of those victims who were not so fortunate. The emergency services all deserve the highest recognition for their work today.

We shall prevail through this, and so will our freedoms and way of life. We stand united. Things are already returning to a state of normality here, our message back to the terrorists. We are not terrorised. we take it on the chin and continue. As a World War Two veteran said on the national news today, we've had worse, we will endure and emerge the victors.

We are a country with great strength, with a capital with great heart, and we shall not be beaten.
