Who could seriously consider the disgruntled French as the culprits? This site makes me laugh and weep in equal measure.

Met Police Chief has just confirmed 6 explosions - one of these on a bus.
People are advised to stay where they are and not to try and leave the capital because of the chaos this is likely to cause.

No advanced warning was given about a possible attack.

Lets just hope the Lords / Judges wise up and let the Politicians protect us from these terrorists now .

They don't have any human rights !

Wasn't blaming the French....just wondering whether whoever got the Olympics would have been the target from whoever did this.

I suspect it is more to do with the G8 sucking up resources and leaving the rest of the UK (in particular London) vunerable. I would be very surprised if the Olymics have anything at all to do with this. I suspect it is Bin Laden or some Iraq based terror group, but the multiple attacks scream Bin Laden to me.

The thing is Al Quaeda are bound to accept responsibility aren't they? They want us to be scared of them! I'd rather see some physical evidence found that suggests it's them, rather than hearsay.

Irrelevant that was just a wind up with a smidgeon of truth in it. What I'm not for is the wholesale slaughter of the innocent. Let's leave the usual BS out of this please.

They are saying that the double decker was one of those tourist buses. There goes the tourist industry.
Wonder what the effect will be on the economy as a whole? FTSE already hit hard. Pound down against the dollar etc etc.

Got into Euston, fire engines everywhere, walked down towards Tavistock Square, bus stopped, about to get on, thought soddit with the chaos it'll be quicker to walk. Walked towards where it was about to go off (100 yards away).. main road a bit busy, did a left and a right and took another route. Got into the office to see that's where the bomb went off. Must have just missed it!
There but for the grace of God and all that.
All the decent anti-terrorist cops seem to be up at the G8.. Mostly fat male and female bobbies running around. 2 suspect packages just up from me at Holborn now.
