fighting terrorism

the emergency services and the (wo)man in the street were the real heroes of the recent tragedies in london, but we shouldn’t forget the humble bollard. these chaps have appeared all over the place keeping the rest of us from places we should go.
for most people visiting or working in london the only thing they’d see now would be a few closed tube lines/stations. even the crime scene road blocks are gradually being lifted.
which might make walking from east to west across town a lot easier. i managed to get very last lost monday morning walking from paddington to brick lane when i had to detour round these road closures
