This won't be Spain 2.0

Recall that the bombings in Spain happened right before their elections.

The London bombings happened after their latest election.

The rewards of mass hysteria and public craziness won't benefit the terrorists as there is no way for the sheeple to put the govt. to the vote... yet.

Besides, the track record of the British to endure hardship, misery and atrocities are extremely high.

To quote one brit:
"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim?

I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength."

The brits have proven to be staunch allies and true to their word in previous conflicts. They have done the same in the GWOT. I do not see this attack doing anything but strengthening their resolve.
