This is truly awful... These random acts of mass murder strikes at every level in society. The terrorists don´t care who they blow up. It´s utterly despicable and I hope the perps will be caught and tried to the fullest extent of the law.

Sucks, doesn't it? Oh well- we never let the Troubles bombings knock us back, and I'm confident that this will be no different.

No, not completely false. What "surveys" are you looking at?

The party had a comfortable advantage in opinion polls but lost the election on March 14.

It depends of course of the polls you look at, the wahington post selects his sources. There wasnt a "comfortable" advantage but yes, i disaagree with Niessuh here. PP (Aznar´s group) would have won surely. The people were a bit angry yet because some previous governement lies and other "athrocities" that year (yak-42 accident or Prestige oil tanker among others) but the good economics was an important pilar. 11M changed the balance.

The 11M slaughter and its consecuences (Aznar lies) was important for the elections, mostly not becuase people changed his mind but because left-wing people that normally doesnt go to vote was so angry with Aznar that they voted that time to crush him.

Sorry, this is the LAST post about this topic i write here.

And I agree... as in the past, this type of thread is meant to serve as central place for information, a place to hear if our British brothers are ok, and show our concerns...

It is not meant as a political thread... No trolling, or using this thread to make political statements will be allowed.

My heart goes out to our British members... I hope they and their family and friends are all safe...

After reading the last page or so, there are about 10 people who are one post away from getting restricted.

Show some respect, and stop the political crap, personal crap, and the trolling... Find another thread for it, because anymore of it here, and you're toast!

I don't appreciate you telling me what not to say. You're the only one playing the game.

I will assume you were typing this as I was posting my warning...

ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!

In a perverse sort of way, I'm almost glad it's us that's been hit (assuming these things are almost inevitable- and right now I feel like they are). It's seemed inevitable for years, and I couldn't help feeling a sense of something close to guilt when the US, Spain and Bali got hit while we didn't. It felt like we were getting away with something.

In some ways, it feels like we're more closely united now. Almost as if we've taken a bullet that might have hit some other place.

That doesn't stop me wishing it hadn't happened though.

Oh well, it was going to happen sooner or later...

I'm just glad we appear to have got off relatively lightly under the circumstances this time around. The IRA were never able to intimidate the British public and this won't either...

I, for one, hope and pray that every Londoner here is OK. Have we had a check-in/roll-call yet?
