‘It is scary, I don’t feel safe around London Bridge’
Workers in local community tell of panic, fear and anger over second terrorism attack
Below the dramatic judder of a police helicopter, workers around London Bridge gathered on the street on Friday afternoon, shellshocked by the violence inflicted yet again on a community still recovering from the tragic 2017 attack.
“We’ve been standing here for an hour,” said Alex de Silva, 25, a restaurant worker who had huddled with his colleagues on the pavement. “The police haven’t told us anything, and we are waiting for our manager to tell us what to do because they don’t want us to go home yet.”
