Four weeks on ..

Four weeks after the bombs, and two weeks after the failed attacks, there's a massive police presence in London at the moment. In addition to the Community Support police who hitched a lift on the bus, there was a substantial presence of very visible police at Angel Station this morning, at least eight that I could see, all dressed in luminous yellow jackets.

To be honest, the substantial police presence is nothing new. Most stations have had a visible police presence for the last month, many of the officers armed (pistol-armed officers at TCR and Warren street last week, and a pair with MP5s at Camden both last week and when I was down there on Monday). Still, seeing armed police on the streets is a bit of a shock when you're used to police having nothing more than a truncheon and a stiff upper lip.

Here's hoping today passes of without incident.
