Pleased to hear that that those members down in the Capital are all ok, please take care and keep switched on. This is a dreadful act, those of you in other areas of heightened threat please be careful and keep your eyes open.

There is the occaisional double decker heading south into Bishopsgate, but there is no one on board. I've not seen any bus heading north for a while. The amulances are still back and forth.

This is just as discraceful the people who perform these act are not true muslims but use this religion as a scapegoat for their actions it is a religion that is not understood in the british soceity and is one which many people do not like but this is mainly due to the bad press that it recieves

agree entirely with john on that theres a lot of decent muslims who i know,the animals that carried out this atrocity are just that ANIMALS.

I haven't seen the news yet as I have only just got out of bed. I am so glad that Pendy and Tealeaf are ok. If chaos such as this can be caused on a normal day, then think of the chaos that these people could cause during a big event, ie, the Olympics. It is high time that our do-gooders stopped harping on about the human rights of these terrorists and people who incite violence, and that our laws punish people properly.

Ive been in bed most of today watching the news. Its so terrible. My heartfelt sympathies go out to all who are hurt and have been killed.

mani · 07-07-2005, 16:28

bloody hell!!!

they've just shown the m25 or maybe the m4 and its just gridlocked!!

feel sorry for those folk

Tealeaf · 07-07-2005, 16:53

OK everybody....I'm signing off and heading home. It's been two awesome days here of triumph and tragedy. What was it that Kipling wrote about these "imposters"? Well, don't believe it...... its all been very real today.

It looks like I won't make the Stag this weekend...now that makes me mad. But I'll definatly be there next weekend. (I hope!)

lettie · 07-07-2005, 16:56

Take your time getting home, have a pint on the way, and we'll see you when you manage to get here...

Thank god our friends are safe and well, our thoughts have to go out though to the people dead and injured , and to their families. These people were just going about their everyday lives and these murdering extremists choose to do this. I have been quiet up to now cause i feel sick after being very involved in the IRA bombs in Manchester.a few years ago. I saw the devastation and the heartache it caused and still can,t come to terms with it . Pendy Tealeaf and Cashies son thank god your OK . Ian.

Sara · 07-07-2005, 17:28

It's just a barbaric act, total bast**ds. Glad to hear all our members are safe. My heart goes out to all.

Margaret Pilkington · 07-07-2005, 17:29

The people who did this aren't animals.......animals do not kill and maim for fun......the people
who committed these atrocities are cowardly barbaric people...and if they should ever be found...or when they are found they should be shot..........at least 33 people are dead tonight because of them. 33 families are grieving when they should not be.
A curse on the bombers.

I just hope that the so called protesters, who yesterday were ripping up pavements to throw at the police in Scotland , some of whom appeared to be middle aged well dresssed women, have the decency to halt their 'protest' in the light of the tragic atrocoties seen in London today.

Today we should be pround and thankful for ther men and women of the emergency services.

Sparkologist · 07-07-2005, 18:10

The official death toll is now listed as 37: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4661059.stm

Is there anything we can do to stop these atrocities happening? As the IRA were reputed to have said, "You have to be lucky every day. We only have to be lucky once."
