It is horrible, but browsing social media you really understand how much of a sheltered life British people live.
They talk in such dramatic terms like "what is the world coming to". "I was in that area a few weeks ago". As if they're the star of the show.

It's bring it home a bit more tbh when you think it's possible you could have been caught up in it. The media though probably doesn't reflect the mood of people carrying on as usual with their everyday business. Obviously it's different for those directly involved.
