Radio 4 is useless-
"the timing raises the suspicion of terrorist activity"

Well no shit. Good analysis there.

One of the TV stations here
has finally started carrying Sky News.

Another is carrying BBC news
(don't know if it's domestic or BBC World) which is better to watch?

I turned on Radio 1
and got "City Of Blinding Lights"...

As opposed to
blithely jumping to conclusions?

I'm trying to think of any other possible explanation
but none exactly springs to mind.

It could all be some terrible accident.
Chances are that it isn't, but I'd rather the news people reported news, rather than random speculation.

A terrible accident
where four bombs were accidentally left on public transport ?

Oh be reasonable,
we've all done it.

MM, take your head out of your arse and smell the C4!

I think it's probably terrorist activity, too,
but I couldn't say for a fact.

Besides, I love Radio 4, and will defend it to the ends of the earth, even if I am wrong.

Seriously
at this point there is no way it could be anything else. I think they should be at least using the words "would seem to be" by this point.

Be fair mate
What the fuck else causes four bombs in one morning ?

PMT ?

Come on,
how often do busses and trains spontaneously and simultaneously explode? It's obviously terrorists - jumping to conclusions would be saying 'It must be al-Queda'.

Don't forget that most of it seems to be around the City. Far too much of a coincidence. To back up Mr Tea's statement, don't forget Oklahoma City, first reports were that it was Islamic militants...

For all we know,
it could be organised crime. Haven't you seen Die Hard 3?

God, I love that movie!

It'll probably be banned, now, as it's far too instructional...

not alowed radio at work - it stirs up the blood
what's the latest? are there any fatalities? I'm getting 'bodies everywhere' on some reports and 'a few injuries' from the Beeb.
Sorry, I don't think you are my potentialterroristattackdescribingbitches ;D

"Laura Matthews, a press officer at Universities UK, with offices in Tavistock Square, said there were bodies lying around the bus explosion, some without arms or legs. "Get people down here quickly," she sobbed. She thought a bomb had gone off and was trying to evacuate her office."

Fuck...
Simon Corvett, 26, from Oxford, was on the eastbound train leaving Edgware Road tube station when the explosion happened.

"All of sudden there was this huge bang. It was absolutely deafening and all the windows shattered. The glass did not actually fall out of the windows, it just cracked. The train came to a grinding halt and everyone fell off their seats," he said.
