Stuck in London (Battersea) at the moment. There are no busses, no trains but the airports are still open and we are all walking home I guess. Our Prime Minister (Tony Blair) is on his way back from Scotland so that he can talk to the Police and help co-ordinate things.

There are reports that the Army are on the streets of Covent Garden and I've also heard that the bus that was blown up by a suicide bomber but nothing is yet full confirmed. There have been six reported explosions so far.

Those fu*kers.

London is at a standstill. No buses, no underground! Exactly waht El Qeada wants!

it has a very strong smell of Al Queda connection about it as
they would be possibly the only organisation with the power and
resources to carry this much evil out and it does appear to
have the trademark multiple explosions/morning rush-hour
to cause the greatest casualties and the greatest damage.

There doesn't seem to be an answer since
they let the cat out of the bag a long time ago.

Trouble is mad fanatisism only ever feeds negative response and repercussions allround.
Mistrust, villification, mandatory detention,
rights and liberties strained and fast-tracking of policies on the basis of fear

Orwellian social policies seen as the only way to 'bring things under control'. Cameras on every corner, greater power to intelligence gathering organisations
(all with possibly some form of justification but always 'power corrupts').

I fear for my grandchildren more than anything.

This is very bad.

I wonder what Tony Blair and George Bush will do by way of reprise - Iran anyone?

So who?

Anarchists (G8 conference)
Al Qaeda

Surely not Ireland....Confused

My guess something linked to the G8 meeting in Scotland.
