Seems the Met Police has experienced a surge in applications to join up. From the Telegraph:

“We have seen a huge increase,” said an official at the recruitment centre in Hendon, north London. “Many want to do volunteer work, but we’ve also had inquiries from people who ask specifically about anti-terrorist and undercover work.”

The fatal shooting aside, many of us are impressed with the police’s performance in tracking down the 7th July bombers. It’s likely that people feel confident Thursday’s failed bombers will be caught too.

When they are I guess the recruitment office will be greeted with even more wide-eyed action man wannabes…
