There is a lot of helicopter action here (near Shepherds Bush).
Also I didn't cycle today as I am supposed to be going for dinner in Limehouse tonight, and it is a long walk home. Especially as I broke my toe by being drunk yesterday. Posts: 2793

I think he looked dismayed because the explosion was only enough to blow the lid off his rucksack. If you'd planned to enter the gates of paradise and all you got was a nipple burn, you'd probably be dismayed too.

Hopefully it's all just a big old over-reaction. But maybe not. BBC's now saying 'dummy explosions', whatever they are, which is preferable to 'nail bombs', which is what Sky was talking about.

Yep the BBC are saying detonators - small percussion explosives used to trigger larger explosives - like the things you screw into Hand grenades to make them live.
My guess? Some little shit was having a prank - the same little shit who looked dismayed as the 4th one he forgot went pop in his rucksack. Mandatory life for inciting terror, me thinks.

Interesting that the BBC seems to be ahead of Sky this time in factualised reporting - whilst Sky talk of 'unconfirmed explosions' the BBC already know its three and the type (detonators). Maybe the Emergency Services have learned from last time to get the factual stuff out to prevent panic.

Yeah that was what I thought. Either that or a woefully inept terrorist cell that forgot to pack the actual explosives.

That picture makes me laugh every time. The West (TM) should prouduce video propaganda of their own using the Benny Hill theme and a short animated film of this guy.

Wonder what all the stuff about strange smell's is - they keep making a big deal about it. Do you think it's the tele speak, some coded message, are they all in on it? Suddenly all your phones are going to receive a message, a photo of a man, the target, he did it, the strange smell is a trigger phrase - I've seen Manchurian Candidate, we're all state sponsored killers now....

You know, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing if there was a suicide bombing every two weeks. I reckon they'll run out of volunteers by the end of the summer. Most of the UK can hardly be bothered to vote; how many Brits can actually be fucked to die for a cause these days?

LOL!
I've just heard feom a train driver that SouthWest Trains are at a "level 4" alert, if it goes to "Level 5, it means bombsquads at every station"
It will also mean cancellations as the late shift cant get into to work if they are using the underground

so i see everyones handling this ok then? i'm imagining the situation over here. and how the world would come to an end, there would be terror troops on ever corner and people screaming "won't someone think of the children" before we're all locked up under martial law. and have our whole lives mapped out for us by a panel of 5 white male judges.....
