Suicide is usually a last resort for people, whether used as an escape or as a weapon.

Exactly, it is used as a last resort, by most people. What the Mayor of London said was that if Britain was occupied, it would spawn a bunch of British suicide bombers.
There is a huge difference though. British people, and most every Protestant, Catholic, Jew, etc religion, has not been brought up with the notion of Martyrdom. The extremist Muslims cater to it.
Basically, the Mayor is stating that the British people would do a complete 180 and start to think that "Hey, this is a good idea, it goes against everything I beleive in, but what the hell."
I just don't see it happening, and think that it is an outright silly comment.
