MI5 Director General, Andrew Parker, writes:
The shocking and brutal murder of so many innocent holiday-makers in Sousse has yet again brought the reality of terrorism to the fore.
Today we remember the victims of another dreadful day. We all know where we were that Thursday morning ten years ago when 52 people died at the hands of terrorists in London. I remember all too well an ominous news report about disruption caused by "power surges" on the Tube. The truth about those disgusting murders, the injuries to hundreds of others, and the many lives affected quickly became apparent.
I had taken over as MI5's Counter Terrorism director a few months earlier. We had always known - and said publicly - we simply can't find and stop every terrorist plot. We could not have prevented 7/7. While it remains true that we thwart most attempts, the rare occasions when terrorist attacks occur stand as stark moments in contemporary history.
In the preceding months, there had been a degree of scepticism about the terrorism threat in the media: surely it couldn't happen here? The fact of 7/7 ended those arguments and led to a step change in the nation's counter-terrorism defences. A year later we detected and, with partner agencies, prevented Al Qaida's most ambitious plot - to bring down multiple airliners on US cities using liquid bombs on flights from London. Thousands would have died. I'm not sure we would have detected it without the uplift that followed 7/7.
These and other appalling acts are attempted by individuals who have grown up here but decided for whatever twisted reasons to identify their own country as the enemy. They are a tiny fraction of the population. But the continuing fact that some people, born in the UK, with all the opportunities and freedoms that modern Britain offers, can nonetheless make those sorts of warped choices presents a serious societal and security challenge.
The terrible events in London on 7 July 2005 are enduring reminders of the reality of what MI5 is striving every day to prevent.

There is far more chance of this happening today than there was 10 years ago. The one would-be terrorist a day the security services have arrested for the last year is just a drop in the ocean.

I was working in Stockholm. My boss came over to tell me a bomb had gone off. Even though I thought it very unlikely the ex-wife would be in the part of London that early I was a bit worried until I got through on a landline? Boss told me to take the rest of the day off on full pay. I started to break into tears on the Metro but was comforted by a stunning blonde and was very sympathetic. So I ended up shagging her and a half day off so the day ended OK for me.

Was working on the Minories is at the time, which is 30 seconds from Aldgate tube. Remember walking out of Liverpool street station about 9am and just hearing sirens everywhere, and Police running all over the place, not knowing what to do. Thought nothing of it at the time, and as I walked past Aldgate there was (what seemed like) hundreds and hundreds of people crowded round. Again, in my own little world, I pretty much just ignored it and carried on. Got into work and there started to be whispers of power outages etc, and when I looked out the window the Sky News helicopter was about 50ft from me, broadcasting live footage which was being shown on the TV to the left of me. Really surreal.
After about 15 minutes a colleague walked in (barely knew him) covered in soot, wripped trousers and shirt and hair all over the place. Didn't say a word to anyone, and just sat at his desk. He was in complete and utter shock and had to be escorted out by a paramedic. He was on the carriage that exploded, and whilst he wasn't physically injured he was visibly she'll shocked by what he'd just been through.

I couldn't get on the tube at Colliers Wood due to a 'power surge' so went to the local café for a full English.
Got to work about 11am having had to walk from Waterloo.
Office was just behind Aldgate tube station and my abiding memory is of people in the office just getting on with their work as if nothing had happened.
Mobiles still weren't working, so used my desk phone to call family then went home.
Fucking jobsworth cunts.
