London Underground shut down

[Furr]

we should sweep the country for illegal aslyum seekers, remove terrorist familes and buisness's, and ban aslyum seekers from countries that are not adjacent to the UK........ GRRRRRR

If this is the work of Al-whatsit then things in the UK are going to change

I thought you were taking the piss. Then I got to the last line, and discovered that you are a cock.

I despair sometimes.

Hey Furr, lets run with that! before we know whats going on at all! (who did what? whats happened?)'They're' probably British Citizens so I suggest, ....we round up people will dark skin and funny accents and SHOOT them into space. agreed?

 

[Poag]

When i said G8 i didn't mean the G8 activists...but its just timed too conincide with the G8 sumit. Not that the anarcists or anything are behind this.

 

[Furr]

"illegal aslyum seekers" the ones who come apply then disapear, migrant workers etc i have no qualms about in fact we need them. Its the ones who come over and then take advantage of the system, with so many people in the country that the goverment has no knowledge of its bound to be a security risk.

[tankgirl_ni]

please please please do a little, just a google or two, or maybe a book but please do the smallest bit of information hunting before taking on the role of Security Council. Your post is just a bunch of fearful words strung together.

 

[Javai]

ban aslyum seekers from countries that are not adjacent to the UK

I wouldn't even quote the rest of what you wrote but you do realise we're an Island right?

 

[yaruar]

dear christ i'm glad i choose to take today off work (I would have been passing liverpool street at the time of the incident)

hope all of you working in london are ok.

Speculation is now bouncing back to this being two separate incidents; a power surge problem on the Tube at around 8:50 and a Bus Bomb at around 10:15.

If the Tube did get a power surge then most injuries and damages would come from trains stopping abruptly.

Emergency services would not be taking any chances though ...

 

[xane]

Sorry, BBC are now going back to "coordinated attack" again ...

 

[Ukle]

The 2 trains at Edgwere road are confirmed - one was passing the other in the tunnel when a bomb went off on one.

'tis bad news, but really I must be slightly innured to this kind of thing, I remember lots of bombs that the IRA set off, particularly the one in Manchester.

Someone on another forum 'has a mate who works for British Rail' and has said something is kicking off in Manchester. I hope not.

Whats really sad about this, and I hate to use such a terrible event as propoganda, is that the government will use such things as a perfect excuse to get ID cards and more security controls firmly on the agenda.

 

[tankgirl_ni]

i tried calling my bro but the networks are all down.
i call the home number and his wife answered. he got sent to russell square this morning shortly after the comotion on the trains and she cant get in contact with him either. i'm sure he'll be alright but its still a bit unsettling.

Because ID cards worked so well preventing the Madrid attacks. Then again, when has fact got in the way of uk.gov policy?

 

[Earl]

The mobile networks have been restricted in london according to another forum, a member on there lives somewhere near one of the stations.... no calls in or out, so I suspect thats why you can't get in touch with him tankgirl

"'tis bad news, but really I must be slightly innured to this kind of thing, I remember lots of bombs that the IRA set off, particularly the one in Manchester."

I know what you mean. I've lived in belfast all my life and grown up with bombs and shootings every other day of the week from the IRA/UVF and every other 3 letter organisation we have over here, but it still doesnt make the impact of these things any softer for me.
Maybe i'm just too much of a peace and love hippy but I still cant watch 9/11 footage without crying. Its horrible when things like this happen in any country.
My brother moved away to london to join the police because he didnt want to be in the middle of the troubles over here

 

[MYstIC G]

Yup this is Al Quada its a perfect example of there type of attack - spread out and timed to cause maximum deaths.

Yup Brighton and Swindon are shut.

Wow! Nice jump! Straight to the "conclusion" square, soaring right over "facts" and "information" squares. It's almost like you work in the media.

Nobody knows f/a at the moment, except people who are there.

All the phone networks in the areas affected are tied up at the moment, everyone if phoning to see if their friends/relatives are ok. It should calm down later.

Standard emergency services stuff, I gather. In a situation like this the network operators switch available resources over to emergency services communications so the average joe mobile users network is clogged.

Mystic stop your trolling. This has been stated by the Police and many experts on the TV, and who the fuck else do you think did it.

Number 10 said it was "still unsure" whether the explosions were a terrorist attack and although casualties were reported, no further details were yet available.

Not a single report blaming Al Q, afaik. And it would just be speculation at this point.

 

[xane]

Blair just confirmed these are terrorist attacks and he is coming back to London.

 

[tankgirl_ni]

at least it all seems to have stopped now tho. *touch wood*

Not a single report no. Just the main story on the BBC news site.


And I think they know more than you.

 

[Ormorof]

according to beeb al-qaeda are claiming responsibility

 

[Ukle]

BBC just reported the confirmed explosions

6 on the underground (Kings Cross, Moorgate, Edgwere, Aldgate, Russell Square, Liverpool Street)

1 on the Bus

 

[xane]

BBC is reporting a rescue operation is underway at Kings Cross regarding a train stuck in the tunnel.

Yep, agree, I hope you see my post was critisism of the government, rather than agreement
