Traffic in
London has been busier these last three weeks, since four
aircraft shredded a city’s-worth of families, left a campus-full of lovers grieving and a school's-worth of children without a parent.
It took a couple of days for people to realise, but since mid-September, people have moved away from the Tube, to the surface. Choosing frustration and delays over frustration, delays, and bomb risk. Today, after the counter-strikes, the traffic is busier than ever. As retribution rains on Kabul, Afghan lovers are dying; Afghan children are losing their parents and more families are torn apart. Here in London, we prepare ourselves for what we know will happen.
It is sad. So, so, sad.
Four planes, four pilots.
Orphans, grief, pain and anger.
Expect to see more.
