Policeman on 5 Live saying not to "jump to conclusions" and
"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."

Unsure??!?!?!??

In a way I'd be happy to hear it was a terrorist attack cos I'd be scared shitless thinking something else could cause this.

This incident:
"may not be terrorists"

Couple of guys in a bedsit with a few nuts:
"OMG Terrorists!1!!1!"

maybe they don't want people to sudeenly decide that muslims were behind it and give then an excuse to beat them up?

It is generally Muzzers that have been blowing shit up lately.
Well, apart from Americans, but they officially blow shit up.
The IRA probably don't have the resources for something like this these days, and even the extremist wankers in the 'Real' IRA wouldn't want to wreck the peace process this badly.

I'd say 10-to-1 on it's Islamic militants.

True but
I for one don't want to see everyone with olive skin in London getting the shit kicked out of them. I also don't want us to react like the States did.

Lets be calm, find out who did it and then do some righteous smiting then. For now it's just a question of damage limitation.

I didn't condone darkie-bashing, did I?
I said it was overwhelmingly likely to be the work of Islamic militants, not 'muslims in general'.

but i suppose the bombs can travel to any station

As can hysteria
I hope I'm right in sayign that Swindon is unlikely to be a terrorist target.

London is probably being hit because a massive amount of our resources are distracted in Edinburgh.

Manchester or Birmingham I can see getting hit but not fucking Swindon and Brighton.

let's face it
London is big news and very crowded. Tourists come to London not to Swindon. But a bomb that didn't explode as planned can travel anywhere if this is the same as the Madrid bombing.

The Pallisades at New Street were closed this morning when
I got to work so I had to take a different route. I was late so I never stopped to ask why the police were guarding the shutters to the escalators. I'm not sure if that was before or after the first explosion but there was no news at 9am this morning.
