15miles away from me..... very close

someone from next door works next to one of the effect stations. took her 2 hours to manage to phone home.

everyone i know is ok

someone from work son was on/near the bus exploison however he only has slight grazes from glass etc, nothing too bad.

so far im supprised its only 37 dead. i expect it to be just under 100 in the end as those trains often have 80 or so per carrage and the buses can carry 30 odd upstairs (which is totaly gone) and 45-55 downstairs.

I hope viewpoints like these are confined to a few on the lunatic fringe...

and a big hearty F.U. from Blair.

"There will of course now be the most intense police and security service action to make sure that we bring those responsible to justice."

"It is through terrorism that the people that have committed these terrible acts express their values and it is right at this moment that we demonstrate ours.

"I think we all know what they are trying to do.

"They are trying to use the slaughter of innocent people to cow us, to frighten us out of doing the things that we want to do, trying to stop us from going about our business as normal, as we are entitled to do and they should not and they must not succeed.

"When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated. When they seek to change our country or our way of life by these methods, we will not be changed.


"I would also pay tribute to the stoicism and resilience of the people of London who have responded in a way typical of them."

Swoop's turn.



I don't see what was supposed to have been accomplished today.  

Ken Livingstone (Mayor of London) muttered something about trying to turn us against each other but I don't get that statement either.  Brits don't turn against each other (or our allies), we just get pissed off.

All today is really going to accomplish is that anyone who looks the slightest bit Arabic is going to get a kicking on general principle.  That's what your average British peasant does when he's pissed off, put the boot in and ask questions later.

My sympathy goes out to all citizens of the UK, This war on terror has inflicted its casualties on you many times before.  Taking losses, particularly losses of civilians is disheartening and tragic.  Let's all renew our resolve to ridding the planet of as many of these Al-Queda criminals, their supporters, their families and anything they may have of any value or use to them.

I believe in being tougher than most by a long shot, I would stop using laser guided bombs and switch to nepalm en masse!

God Bless, London - Hang in there and thanks for being one of our few true friends.  VERY sorry for your losses.

aye... we had some arabic person parked outside our store for almost an hour today, constantly on the phone, constantly getting out of the car and walking around, before coming into the store at which point our security had every possible camera on him making sure he wasnt planting anything.... and all because he was of middle eastern orign. Sad really.

Thats what the terrorists just dont get. They ruin there OWN lifes, and mess up other peace loving muslims lifes as well. I just dont understand there objective at all.

But then we are at war, we have been at war for many years. It may not be a war like WWII was like but its still a war, and probably a endless one as well...

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner,
That I love London so.
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go.

I get a funny feeling inside of me
Just walking up and down.
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I love London Town.
