Show some fucking manners, you twat.

I'm sorry. It was only a speculative post. I should have looked more in it before saying anything.

I'm watching the BBC reports, and I'm glad to see that no-one is jumping to conclusions and panicking (even though it obviously is some kind of terrorist attack), and that the police etc, have it under a steady amount of control considering the huge impact of this one...

Terrible news.....

They juststated on the news that arab sources believe it was the work of al quaeda. ed:

Theres a fuckin surprise. Heres the real question: Who will see this as retaliation for Iraq, and who will see it as stregthening their resolve there?

Shiet. See if I can get some more info on this shit. Its all crazy, so fucked up.

Everyone's going nuts. They've evacuated Swansea Uni campus, and they supposedly found a device on a bus in Coventry. oOo:

Shiite!!!! hake:

Slightly o/t...

I've often read theories that George W.Bush wears an earpiece when he's doing press conferences*. About an hour ago I watched Tony Blair give a press briefing and I'll be damned if he wasn't being fed the lines he was saying; the way he paused whilst talking, the way his eyes moved etc, it was very strange.






* There's video evidence to back this up before anyone accuses me of bashing him for no reason.

Think its safe to say these bombings seemed to be more of a warning than anything, considering what they did with 9/11 they obviously could have done a ton more damage if they had wanted to.

But why give a "warning"...? If it really was the "Secret Organisation al Qaeda in Europe" ( oOo: ) surely you would do something big straight off the bat, kill lots of infidels and all that shit. Now the authorities are going to be on a heightened state of alert, the chances of getting caught are greater.

I'm wearing my "I'm Mr.Suspicious" hat today....

Well one of the main point of terrorism is exactly that, to terrororise people. Incidents like this can have as big of an effect on people as a larger bomb. Its more of a message, them saying "we can hit you if we want to". London has like 7 million people in it, whoever done this can just disappear as a face in the crowd very easily.

BBC news just now "irish terrorism is unlikely" oOo: ya think?

That's seriously fucked.

Stay safe over there, guys.

Apparently, Scotland Yard had prior warning of an attack.

[quote="Mr.Buttocks":5f9d0]Apparently, Scotland Yard had prior warning of an attack.[/quote:5f9d0]

Not suprised at all, if its true. Most of the coppers are real bitches.

I have been watching the BBC all mourning. I must say, for an organized attack it really was not as BIG as I would have expected. Normally these organized attacks do much more damage and cause more casualties. This still sucks. It brings back many memories of 9/11 seeing all the police cars flying trough the streets, debris everywhere. The worst I saw was the bombing just in front of the medical association building. Their is blood splattered all over the front of the building from a bomb they went off on the second level of a bus, all thats left is the holding bars on the top of the bus.

maybe the fact that the G8 summit opens today might have something todo with it, especially playing with the high feelings that london won the olympic bid yesterday so it makes even a larger impact.


scum, they will be found though and brought to justice.

crazy shit... doubt we'll ever really know who is behind it, secret organizations of al queada or whatever sounds a tad fishy to me...

I wonder why they -- whomever "they" may be -- didn't attack all the people gathered together for the Olympic announcement yesterday? That would have been a lot easier, plus there would have been cameras there to record everyone being blown to smithereens.

I belive tony blair was speaking off the top of his head or just plane nervous/schocked. Yet the speach was still better than Bush's. Bush's was painfull to listen to, all the ums and big long gaps not to mention he said nothing usefull.

There's a live feed on the [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/:24a42]BBC news website[/url:24a42] for anyone who isn't near a TV. (If you want to watch UK coverage.)

these terrorists must be exterminated from the earth. How many more men, women and children do they have to blow up before the world understands we need to rid the earth of there assholes. It is an absolute cowardous act, cowards all of them.

I hope all is well in London and I hope there wasnt too much loss of life. The Brits are our strongest allie and Im sure the US will do whatever they need to help them in thier hour of need

Not sure how it would've been any easier, considering there was probably a very strong security presence there.

In any case, God Bless you brits. Hope they catch whoever is responsible quickly.

fucking al queda(sp?) peices of dog shit, they try to make a point by killing inicent people...only point they made is that they are fucking scum...

RIP LONDON VICTIMS 7/7/05

You can't just "elliminate" all of the terroists. Being a terroist isent told by a gene you have, it isent the colour of your skin or the clothes you wear. What makes you a terroists? what dosent? I belive the only way to rid the world of terrosits is to stop creating them. and you will have to wait for the current ones to die out. These people do not have a desiese, they just hate the developed world and their is no way anyone can ever change that. At least thats just my opinion. I think we should just be glad that not many people were seriously hurt. I think everyone belives alot more damage could have been done but thankfully it didn't .
calmdown:

WTF kind of name is that?

Guess they caught us whilst we were busy sipping tea, like most of our great defeats...


My sister is somewhere in Chelsea, not far from the bombings, I've managed to get a text from her that she's ok but communication is quite a problem as most of the mobile networks have been closed down in order to try & hamper any communication between the terrorists. London is a complete gridlock at the moment. All the main train lines are down & the streets are full of traffic which will probably hinder any emergency vehicles. The Army is also on the streets & there's unconfirmed reports about a terrorist being shot. A few of my mates are in London but I haven't heard anything from them yet due to the communication problems. It looks like most of the people who work in London will be spending the night there because there's no way of getting in or out via the tube or railways & all the major roads are at a standstill.

It seems we have been quite fortunate as the casualty rate is reported to be 45 with 1000 injured. Though I am suspicious as the bombings have taken place in a fairly circular pattern around the northern half of the city. King's Cross must have been nuts, it's a major station. I've been there quite a few times but it's not my usual haunt. The Southern half of the city, where I usually go, appears to have come out unscathed. But I think this may have been due to some communication difficulties perhaps, it would have made more sense to have the bombings go in a circle around the entire city. Fortunately no-where like Victoria has been hit. Though had the circular pattern gone on to the South I'm certain that Canary Wharf & Victoria would have been in the picture, these places are a far busier than Kings Cross & also part of my usual route, damn lucky I wasn't there today... eek:

I hope the terrorists attacks are over now because I hear Victoria is pretty overcrowded & it would be a splendid opportunity to ruin afternoon tea. eek:

Thanks a lot for all the kind Comments from around the world. I hope MI6 track those bastards & hand them over to a bunch of drunken football hooligans.
