Dec 5, 2015 f---. This is far too close to home. I live and work in central (proper central) London (6 stops from this attack, direct) and I can say, I feel ridiculously unsafe right now. Some seriously major s--- is obviously going to happen but the questions are when and will I be ok?? It's a f----- up thought process!
