Eh? It's more about the British qualities of stoicism and understatement than anything else. I'm certainly grateful for the services of the police etc. in keeping the country safe, but I'm not going to get all melodramatic about anything — that would just be tacky. (i.e. American) 8^)
(I would put the danger from the wave of violence currently sweeping across Glasgow as more significant than that posed by incompetent terrorists, but this is another discussion entirely).
