I think it'd really help if the Police would give proper reports.
I know they dont want to cause panic, but it causes worse panic now because no one has any faith in the reporting, so end up picking up all sorts of information from other people, people phone loved ones etc, if they stated the facts, I think people would respond a lot better.
Hope there are no casualties, and everyones okay (apart from the *******s doing this!!), have to go through the difficulty of trying to get loved ones home from London again unless things calm down this afternoon.

IMHO they have their priorities right.

Met Police Boss Iain Blair has confirmed 4 attempted explosions and asking for all Londoners to stay where they were. Just heard that on Radio 1.
Hope they dont catch those who ran away, probably give them a pat on the back and give them a house

Anyway, who - or what - ever is doing this, surely is upsetting a lot of people's lives.

the scariest part of this (apart from the death and destruction) is that the bombings could stop all tourism in London, the knock on from that will completely fubar the economy, bringing the country to its knees.
