The Telegraph, London.
The woman in the photograph got off a bus passing the scene to help the victim. Mum talked down Woolwich terrorists who told her: ‘We want to start a war in London tonight’
A cub scout leader confronted terrorists just seconds after they had beheaded a soldier asking them to hand over their weapons and warning them: “It is only you versus many people, you are going to lose.”
…Mrs Loyau-Kennett was not the only woman to show extraordinary courage. Others shielded the soldier’s body as the killers stood over them.
MPs praised the “extraordinary bravery” of the women and raised concerns about why it took armed police 20 minutes to arrive at the scene while people’s lives were at risk…

At PowerLine, I Think They’re Trying to Tell Us Something
…Driving home from the airport tonight, I listened to a radio account of the attack which said that radical Islam is suspected as a possible motive. Well, of course, reserve judgment: don’t take their word for it!
What has been going on in Sweden [link added/CAJ] is less spectacular but cut from the same cloth. “Youths” have been rioting in Stockholm and its suburbs for the last two nights.

Once again, I must sadly summon up Shakespeare, from “Richard the Second”.
This land of such dear souls, this dear, dear land,
Dear for her reputation through the world,
Is now leased out – I die pronouncing it! –
Like to a tenement or a pelting farm.
England, bound in by the triumphant sea,
Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege
Of watery Neptune, is now bound in with shame,
With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds.
That England, which was wont to conquer others,
Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
