It's bad enough what we know to have happened, without egging the pudding even further.
How many more times are you going to make the same fucking point?

Listen squire - why don't you keep your tedious moronic shit off this thread - if you can't see this isn't the place for it then you're an even bigger twat than your first ppost woult indicate.
Go start another one where you can rant at will - and we'll join you there.

LONDON (Reuters) - A series of explosions ripped through London's underground rail system on Thursday morning, killing several people, in what appeared to be co-ordinated attacks to coincide with the start of a G8 summit in Scotland.
Blasts were also reported on buses. Eyewitnesses said the top was ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King's Cross train terminal.

i just spoke to people in the building nect to mi5 and they didn't say anything about it.
Fucking hell. Been trying to get hold of some friends who work in the Russell Square/Liverpool St areas. Just got a mail back from someone who works in Tavistock Square and takes the bus into work - he's not in work today and is fine, thank God.
Just said how relieved I was about that to the woman who sits across from me at work but said I was still worried about other friends I haven't got hold of yet. She's just said to me "Can you not look on the bright side for once? Why do you always have to turn everything into a crisis?"
And when I said "Can you not understand how fucking worried I am", she said "Don't you swear at me, things like this happen to people all the time!"
Can't look at her and am practically in tears.

Best advice is to stay where you are, then go home as soon as things look safe and feasibleKeyboardJockey said:
im so glad i cycled today. But I am very worried about my staff member who was on the train which exploded at Liverpool St/Aldgate. She's ok physically but well shaken up. She is sitting on the pavement with a load of other people who were evacuated. Fucking hell I am shaking.

Yeh, I feel SO ashamed!
FFS William, who cares. People were posting what they heard, so the picture becomes clearer over time.
You're being a pedantic idiot.

Well the BBC is stating there are three and they have footage but only one has been confirmed as to being down to an explosive device.

flying into luton from switzerland this evening to see her. no chance now you think?
so many people i can't get through to. nobody knows what's going on. it's awful
I know it's easy for me to say, but please try not to panic. It's chaos in Central London, but the odds on something happening to your loved ones are slim. Think of the many millions of people who travel in London every day.. 99.99999% will be unhurt. Phone the airline and see if your flight is still scheduled to fly. Try and remain positive, wait for a while before trying to get hold of people.

28 Days later, but with more cars on the road.
Loads of tourists out and about too.
Just found out that one girl in our office is in The Royal at Whitechapel cos she was at L/pool st.
Haven't experienced anything like this since the mid-90s when the IRA blew Heron and South Quay up and then had that whole Xmas campaign thing where the West End got shut down about twice a week.

this kind of takes you back to the civil war days doesn't it. londoners clearly got used to not being targets.

Indeed, that's what the politics forums are for.

...just kids gone wild.
I don't doubt you - i was just saying that what he said about things being targetted is pretty reasonable and 'planted bombs' clearly would indicate that there wasn't suicide bombers - not that is important at this point.past caring said:
