Nanny is absolutely terrified of riots following any terrorist attack (which these days is usually redefined as a "mental health issue").
As such she seeks to manipulate our response, to avoid people venting their justifiable anger.
In response to terrorist incidents, the British government has pre-planned social media campaigns designed to appear as spontaneous public reactions.
These campaigns include carefully tested hashtags, selected Instagram images, and "impromptu" street posters. Politicians' statements, vigils, and inter-faith events are also negotiated and planned in readiness for any terrorist attack.
The goal is to shape public responses, encouraging empathy for victims and unity with strangers rather than violence and anger. These strategies were modelled on extensive plans developed for the 2012 London Olympics, aiming to control public reactions after mass-casualty attacks.
Although there was no terrorist incident during the Olympics, variants of this plan have been deployed after every attack in the UK since then. Some describe these measures candidly as an attempt at "mind control."
