Brits can always be relied on for their stoicism and dry wit in the face of adversity.
That was apparent on UK Twitter in the aftermath of Monday's horrible attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

While there was a bit of backlash against the jokes, many users defended the hashtag, explaining that they weren't being made in light of the tragedy, but as a way to rise above the fear terrorists want to instill in a community.

And, so, finding some light in the darkness continues to be a British trait that we could all emulate just a bit.
