A personal email from a friend, with obviously strong political beliefs, in London:
I only know what I've read on the 'net, which is that they are muttering about
aQ, as usual. Me, I fancy Mossad sponsored by CIA.
Apart from the poor buggers injured/killed people aren't making a fuss. Most
people would have been more annoyed by the prospect of walking home
afterwards, with no public transport. Let's put it in perspective: some
700,000 people travel on the Tubes and the buses every morning. Whoever it
was can't get 'em all.
We had all this shite for 30 years when the Micks were at it; I was around the
corner when they bombed Harrods at Christmas in 1983. I know we behave
differently to a lot of Merkins, but then we are not a demonstrative people.
Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes not. And despite all the efforts of
Blair and his idiots we are not going to start panicking over this.
More blood on Bush and Blair's hands. Neither of them wants to know that if
we weren't busy killing innocent people on a daily basis in Iraq then innocent
people here wouldn't be getting blown up. Fuck 'em.
I had an email from *M telling me that people on *J were asking about their
'beloved *B' but I managed to resist the temptation to have a look. Told
him he's just jealous.
In the short term this will be a PITA. Croydon, a large town a few miles to
the east of here, was closed down for several hours yesterday while
'suspicious packages' were investigated, and this is bound to be an ongoing
thing. I'm going up to town next week to have lunch with some people -
postponed from yesterday - and I'm just hoping that there aren't any major
delays. My poor old car is on its last legs and, like me, doesn't like to be
kept waiting.
Don't worry about us lot, we'll manage. We always do.
