My Dad and I both had the same instant reaction to the first announcements - "wow, the French were really pissed about the Olympics."

No I'm not so sure...

Bush did it - worried that all the little starving african children were taking away the light from his attak on terrror, him Blair and Chirac got together and decided London. Blaire wanted minimum casualties though, Bush wanted something big, Chirac mediated - well, you got the olympics mon brave....

[Northern paranoia] It was anti-Metrolink campaigners trying to make sure the whole of transport budget gets spent in London. Rather than Manchester.

It was so obviously Blair, it's embarrassing. Just as the US Government took out the Twin Towers to facilitate its wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, so Blair needed a rock solid reason to start major renovation on our aging tube network. Obviously any big works is going to engender a huge amount of resentment towards the Government, unless the Government can come up with a situation in which people feel like they're winning by NOT whingeing. It's a winning situation. He gets to overhaul the underground and not only do people not complain - they take pride in not complaining.

It's basically the same sort of thing as when the folk in charge burnt down London in 1666 because they had plans for a better one.

Possibly a group of French-Arabic anarchists plotting against the English because of the Olympic bid, the Iraq war, globalization and bad British food.

Fucking hell, if I did write something like that it'd be a damn sight more convincing.

The mainstream media should ask the following questions:

1. Why did a senior police officer tell the BBC less than twenty four hours before the London attacks that the London police felt that they were on top of the terrorist threat?

Because they felt they were - the question would have been asked because the G8 summit was happening. The police might well have felt confident, and a senior police officer is unlikely to tell a beeb reporter "Actually - it's a fucking shambles here."

2. Were the alleged bombers under surveillance before the attacks, and if not how were they apprehended?

They... haven't been apprehended?

3. To what extent were the bombers motivated by rage at the failure of the UK media to report truthfully on the war on Iraq where torture and death squad killings by the U.S./UK puppet regime have reached a similar scale to the Saddam Hussein regime.

What?

4. Does the Blair government now admit that the illegal invasion of Iraq has aided terrorism?

No - they don't admit this. The home secretary already said as much. Pay attention.

5. Blair boasted to the Jewish Chronicle that he has given more support to Israel than any other UK premier. Will Blair now reconsider his support for Ariel Sharon and his decision to breach his own arms guidelines to supply the occupation forces there with the means to kill Palestinian children?


6. Why did initial reports say the Underground was disrupted by a power surge?

Because there was a desire not to say 'Terrorist!' until it was absolutely certain it was a terrorist attack, in the interest of not provoking panic.


God. This conspiracy theorist is rubbish! These things should be watertight if they're going to inspire the right level of "th-they're controlling us?" twitchy panic.

I don't think this is going to make the ID card thing any easier for Labour. For one thing there's now a solid question "How would ID cards have prevented the London bombings?" that's going to prove tricky to answer convincingly.

On a news site over here they're saying the attacks were allegedly carried out by British youths.

Is that the Daily Mail news site?

edit: actually I wouldn't be suprised if the perpetrators were British. I keep thinking of the trio of Brummy Muslim terrorists from Monkey Dust.

Charles Clarke already admits ID cards would not have stopped any of this

Incidentally, it appears Mr Ian Henshall who wrote that above article is the chairman of INK - umbrella trade organisation for the UK alternative press. in other words seems to have his own political agenda.

Not mind blowing, but I had heard the correct figures, which I couldn't say at the time. Sorry. Do I win points for drama?

Not if your secret number was 37 and the number all over the news was 33. No.

Pointless gossip and supposition, no324. A woman in this office has just come from St Mary's hospital, where she says the surgeon was saying twice as many injured were admitted as the police said, and reckons the death toll could go to 200.

Hmmm. You reckon that could be the same surgeon who saw "at least ten bodies" at the site of the bus blast that killed two.

That sounds like bollocks to me. The Scum has a picture here that looks as though the blast came from the inside of the carriage. My reckoning would be that this was a comparatively simple, lo-tech attack using bombs small enough to leave under the usual debris of Burger King wrappers and copies of fucking Metro on finds in abundance on the rush hour tube.

Which was correct at the time I posted it, just as 37 is correct at the time of posting this. Obviously I didn't think it was going to stay at 2 any more than I think it's going to stay at 37 now.

It doesn't really matter what the result it, it's not much to write home about really is it?
