In a previous job I had to operationalise London Bridge for my employer

It was actually explicit that sporting and cultural events would not be cancelled.

It’s competitive and performative grief by fearful sporting bodies. Do you think pubs will be closed tomorrow? Clubs? What are you going to do to mourn tomorrow evening?

It’s a load of rubbish, and she would have agreed (she signed off the plans).
