The BBC News ticker has just flashed up that an Islamic extremist website has claimed responsibility.

 

[nightqueen]

I hope they pull the cameras out of the hospital entrances. The intrusive fucking bastards.

So terrorists can easily sneak in without being detected?

 

[Cid]

'more than 100' casualties and one fatality at RLH

Suicide bomer on bus that blew up

what in leicester sq?

The ambulance guys said they'd been called to Leicester Square - didn't say anything more.

Parliament's plodding on as usual - there will be a statement by the government soon but they're doing a stiff upper lip thing of ignoring it all for the time being (talking about regionalisation of fire brigades as I write) - but it's absolutely packed with MPs. The main road by Parliament is still open and we're all being advised to stay inside....
