Hopes & wishes to all who have been stuck in this tragic events, and it is not just down to London, Swindon trains have been stopped & MOD sites are not letting visitors entrance to the sites. Darin

Quote:Originally posted by Emma: The rumours are al qaeda but that is such an easy response and they have never been known for their self-control - believe it or not this could have been worse. 200 people died in Madrid - this wasn't designed to kill hundreds or there would be far more deaths (3 confirmed so far) The timing is weird, the G8 was yesterday - an attack then might have delayed the summit and stopped the London Olympics. Be grateful for small mercies I suppose. This is all so gorram depressing

Quote:Originally posted by Emma: Very true SW, London will be fine in a couple of weeks. My Dad was caught in an IRA blast in the 80s and went back to work the next day - tough bunch. The worst thing is not being able to get through to people, hoping everyone is alright.
Quote:Originally posted by Emma: Like you hinted at, this will give Blair carte blanche to bring in the ID cards though. Gorram it! I just hope none of the bombers are involved with Iran otherwise another disgusting war will be on the cards.

Quote:Originally posted by SimonWho: Of course, this may be one of the last gasps of Al-Qaeda. They've been under sustained attack now for 4 years; previously they've been under the cover of "collatoral damage", knowing that they were unlikely to be struck by missiles if they hid in villages with civilians. That's gone out of the window now (for better or worse). If this was a "We're still here" stunt, it might yet back fire. They changed the world on 9/11, horrified in Bali and Madrid. But what happened today wasn't the stuff of nightmares that we'd previously discussed: dirty bombs, chemical warfare, mass suicide bombings. We've had twenty five years of bombs in buildings, railway stations, etc, etc. The capital has been designed to resist such attacks for decades. This won't change London and that may prove to be a tactical blunder on their part.
