Its only been a matter of time i think,surprised its taken this long for something to happen.It may be only the begining too.I expect the death toll to rise sharply later in the day.Your thoughts have to go out to the familys effected. 
Bombs in London
- Thread starter Marts
- Start date

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
To be honest, we should count ourselves lucky they didn't go for an all out killing attack (I know people have died, my thoughts to their familes)
They just went out to cripple London's transport system.
God knows the damage they would have done at 8.50am if they really wanted to kill people.
It will make transport around the country more difficult as everyone will go into 'high alert' - on trains, buses etc.
(I don't really understand what they hope to acheive by doing this?)
Thoughts and condolences to all involved

Bombing rush hour London wasnt aimed at disrupting the traffic is was aimed at killing as many people as possible mate - if they wanted to disrupt the city a load of hoax calls would have done that!
I have thought against these people and we christians are nothing but scum to them and our lives worth less than a dogs!

we should all be thinking of the victims and their familys, my brother was 2 min's from the liverpool st bomb, a scary moment for me to say the least, the emergency services are pulling out every stop respect to every last one of them. so lets all hope that the people who are responcible are brought to justice quickly.
My thoughts go out to all effected and that all our friends here on BCUK who may have been in London today are safe.

Ok Everyone
I think its safe to say how shocked and saddened we all are by whats happened in London today. However, we do not want this thread to degenerate into a slinging match. This thread is being monitored closely as this is such an emotive subject and the last thing we need are people getting (more) upset by careless or thoughtless comments.
Thanks for your understanding.

Whitebuffalo, This thread will NOT become a political forum...it is solely to be used to express the sadness people feel at what has happened. If you, or anyone else for that matter, decide to keep using it as such the thread will be deleted and you will be robbing people an opportunity to express their regret. Please do not let it come to that.whitebuffalo said:

Firstly, I think it's fair to say all our thoughts are with the dead & injured and their families.
Secondly, where do these people find their reasoning?
If as one would assume these attacks were timed to coincide with the beginning of the G8 and to halt the summit. Did they think that they would succeed? Surely not.
The message has been given time & time again. Neither the UK nor any other democratic country in this world of ours will give in to terrorism. Something which I stron gly agree with.

Just heard the Home Secretary's statement in the commons.
It is not often that you hear the whole house being so supportive and non combative.
When will these stupid terrorist realise that they make our society more cohesive and stronger because of their atrocities.

Our country has seen worse and come through stoically. It's what we're good at. Please stay calm everyone. Such actions are performed expressly to elicit a response.
I've just managed to reach friends in London on the Orange Network. If you don't have an Orange Mobile phone yourself, see if someone nearby would allow you to use theirs.

I'm okay and as far as I know my friends and associates are all okay too. My mobile (Orange) is working but I don't want to make calls to everybody at this moment.
If these evil people think they can scare us they are mistaken. When our nation is put under pressure and we have a common enemy to fight it will unite us in our resolve to get rid of them.
Even the world leaders and politicians are united on this one.
I love a good moan about our great country and I'm sad to see the state we're in but when something like this comes along I'm more willing than ever to fight to defend it and my right to be able to speak freely.

I've just come back in from Liverpool street and Tavistock Square - got a call and was sent up to photograph. There's really not much to see now - Central London is absolutely gridlocked for anything other than a motorbike. The fear at the moment is for follow-up attacks and the police have created quite a wide exclusion zone. That being said most of the public seem to be walking about and getting on with life. I guess there's not much else you can do.

I've just torn myself away from the telly. I am filled (once again) with disgust and horror at the levels people will stoop to to try and advance their own agendas. My thoughts are with the victims and families at this time and my thoughts are also with our leaders (regardless of their politics)

I agree with you Rebel it is what we British are good at and woe unto the enemy who forgets that. While in peace we are a afficable race, almost soft. Yet in war we are a strong and united people capable of suffering greatly and resisting all foes mightily. Before the olympic bid the french joked what had we brought europe I say freedom, what more could they want?
Jamie, I am sorry my response came across as it did but it was in response to another reply comparing the attacks today with our actions in WW2. The previous reply seems to have been deleted leaving mine to be highlighted and (i noted you did not highlight my comments of sympathy to the victims which was my intention is said reply) while I stand by my statement I agree this isnt the forum to discuss it.
Again I apolgise for my less than tacturn replies.
