I don't know; it would have been more a gesture for the benefit of 'us' rather than 'them'.
The response to previous terrorist attacks on and off our soil has been to carry on, this feels different for all the wrong reasons. Our press has been thoroughly cowed and I'm worried what's next to be ceded due to fear of these mentalists.
We all knew that much of our press was going out of its way to avoid 'offence', this just put it into sharper focus. It's a real pity, and drawing a line in the sand would've been good.

Far more concerned about the majorities / large minorities of British Muslims who, when surveyed, continued to harbour beliefs that were, frankly, alarming.
I don't see how changing our society helps with integration and change, it merely reinforces ongoing behaviour.
