I don't think it's a good time for jokes...

Tough times, guys...  London!

Explosions at  6 strategic main line stations on the underground and on a couple of buses... a tube train has gone into the back of another... police now saying 90 casualties at Aldgate alone...

The tales coming back about the buses alone are horrific, and there are stories of bodies on the tube tracks.

This is very bad.

I wonder what Tony Blair and George Bush will do by way of reprise - Iran anyone?

I work very near London, and some of my colleagues have not been able to get in from the city - thankfully we've heard from all of them.

How can this be stopped?   There doesn't seem to be an answer since they let the cat out of the bag a long time ago. Trouble is mad fanatisism only ever feeds negative response and repercussions allround. Mistrust, villification, mandatory detention, rights and liberties strained and fast-tracking of policies on the basis of fear Orwellian social policies seen as the only way to 'bring things under control'. Cameras on every corner, greater power to intelligence gathering organisations (all with possibly some form of justification but always 'power corrupts'). I fear for my grandchildren more than anything. The uncertainty of the world they are going to inherit.

We can do something about inequality,but seemingly nothing about conflicting ideologies........ Mankind will never be satisfied with the "status quo" even in a utopia.
