"Not again?"

3 tube station closed because of "incidents"
Anybody know what's going on, or is it just precaution?

it you dont buy tickets and try to jump the turnstile you will be shot

Does anyone know the nature of these new bombs?
Were they intended explosives that failed or "dummy" detonators just to prove "we could have if we'd wanted to"?

Some poeple are saying one thing and some are saying another.
And the police shot someone on the ground?? :-S

Jumped over a ticket turnstile, apparently, and was wearing an overly large 'padded' jacket... he could've had a heavy cold and been late for an appointment, I suppose.

If he wasn't wired up to the eyeballs with explosives, then they've probably just killed an innocent man.

Shooting a bloke who si lying on the ground?

I was on the Glasgow subway today.
Accross from me were three Asian (sorry) blokes, all had the massive black bags at their feet.

I was paranoid, tried not to look up. It was the longest journey ever... though obviously it would be 100 times worse in London.

Thing is, if people make bombs out of stuff you can buy every day (fertilizer etc), and are willing to kill themselves there is no way on earth you can stop them.

Yeah, they should just ban trains.

Another train evacuated again this morning. This is just stupid now.

Police have shot a suspected suicide bomber. Eyewitness on the news said they chased him, he tripped and then was shot 5 times while he was lying on the floor. Bloody hell.

Trust Sky News:
'Brunt said: "He was probably shot in the head. There is no confirmation of that."'

And now they've surrounded a Mosque. I sense a MASSIVE political blowout from this.

Bombers loose?

*Gets down to some chasing*

*Plays Benny Hill music*

Bah. I was going to go to an FCO open day in London next week, but they've cancelled it now.

Ah well, I'll have to sell my body instead.

Any offers? Any at all?
