London Bombings

stupid labels? It's a date Better than saying "That day when all the planes were hijacked and flown into buildings"

And can people stop saying it's insignificant

ok first have a look at google.co.uk and second whad do u think they will call this day in years to come eg, 9/11 could it be 7/7 any idears

Once again the crowd of TSR fails to disappoint; that is in their complete stupidity!

1.) No, this attack won't stop the Olympics going ahead in 7 years time because that's 7 years away.

2.) The point that Blair is indirectly responsible for this is a meritable one. He and Bush decided to kill thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq for no reason other than to gain revenge for9/11 (Afghanistan) and to steal oil (iraq). Incidentally, 4 times the number that were killed in 9/11 were killed in Afghanistan. Thus the fact that, along with many people saying "its not a case of it but when", these attacks are hardly surprising as a form of revenge. Yes, Al Qaeda are bastards, yes even if the US/UK didn't attack Afghanistan and Iraq it could still have happened, but fact remains that ****ing up 2 middle eastern countries will provoke terrorism through revenge.

3.) I don't see the need in self-lucky stories page after page, the "if I was this and that then this and that then I could have died to", it's a bit pointless and a bit cold-hearted considering that real people in these real situations have died or been injured!

4.) People in Iraq and other nations experience this everyday as a result of UK/US leader decisions, as a result of constantly being elected by a population who seems to ignore the fact that they are constantly prodding at terrorist groups to attack Britain. I'll leave it at that...

5.) No the train/tube service won't be at 100% because, believe it or not, attacks took place today! Also, don't advise that "it'll be fine to use it tomorrow" because you don't know that; bombs may have been hiddneleft around and its risky.

That's all I'm going to say! I fully expect the "why don't you give your condolensces instead of making ****** political points" comments but I don't give a ****! Looking at why this happened in a logical fashion and appreciating that everyday this goes on in Iraq but we tend to not give a **** as long as we get oil is a better solution than "lets bomb them to get revenge then moan if they do something back." Not surprising it works though, just look at how dumb our population is. (Especially the American one, bloody hell.)

all of the london under ground is closed
the news is saying about a number station blasts around london could this be a terriest atack the news is vage at the moment all station in london underground is closed

I've never been someone that's proud of being British. Sometimes, I'm ashamed of my nationality. But the way people bonded and pulled together yesterday, the way we're sure that we'll not give in to terrorism and become cowards has made me proud.

Almost slightly patriotic in a way.

The point that Blair is indirectly responsible for this is a meritable one.

He and Bush decided to kill thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq for no reason other than to gain revenge for9/11 (Afghanistan) and to steal oil (iraq).

Come on D+D and repeat this garbage.

Quite.

Yet it still would have happened.

I dont see how, its natural reflection on the situation.

So the beheadings, car bombs, suicide bombings in Iraq, the 50+ dead in London, the 200 dead in Madrid, the 3000 dead in New York is the doing of the UK government and you have the gall to tell people when they are being cold hearted and stupid.

Nice finish. Out of interest, would you have preferred that the bombs yesterday had been filled with sarin or anthrax?

If I had to go to London today, I would 100% use the tube, at least what's open. They wouldn't open it unless they considered it safe. They've all been searched with a fine tooth comb, I'm sure.

If people follow your advice today, they may as well follow it in three years' time...

If TfL and British Transport Police have opened lines and stations, they've done so because they think that it's safe. That's all the reassurance I need.

Mind you, your point about "OMG I was in London four years ago!!!" posts is pretty true.

I do think that the people who missed it by 15 minutes, or those who suddenly changed their minds about getting on a train have something to be a bit freaked out about...

Most TSRians who 'were gonna go to London today' would have left after rush hour anyway when the tickets get cheap. I'm fairly certain that by then, the tube was closed and the advice by all would have been to go home...

It's the truth you just fail to accept it.


But provoking the attacks only makes it more likely and of more severity.


The quotes of "when not if" are as a result of constant UK/US provocation in the middle east. If none of the mass Afghan killings/Iraq took place then there would be a much elsser reason to suspect any such terrorist bombings in the future. What goes around comes around; obviously the speculators acknowledged this also.


Yes sometimes it is but it seems to go a bit too far, fair enough if you were about to go on the train but last min decided against it then bang the bomb went off, but the "if i was a year younger and going to a cam open day" style reflections are a bit ridiculous.


It's the doing of the UK, US and terrorist groups involved, they're all responsible and all constantly worsening the situation through retaliation to attacks. Twisting my words and implying that everything is the fault of the UK/US and no blame should be put on terrorist networks isn't going to aid your argument(s?). 9/11, Madrid and London was due to terrorist groups and Afghan invasion and Iraq invasion for Oil were by the UK/US government. There's no need for me to explain this, it's not rocket science.


As I said, it's the population that are electing Blair and Bush time after time and thus the cycle of invading middle eastern countries and getting revenge through big city attacks. Arguably there is the argument that Blair is the better prime minister in terms of helping the UK economy, I'm not blind to this fact; I guess it's about where we place our priorities as a population. The US are certainly dumb when it comes to political voting, god knows why they elect Bush time after time - This same argument has been put forward time after time.
