Dixie Flatline Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Both my wife and I have friends in London - we hope they're okay. Tony Blair confirms "series of terrorist attacks in London". Going to fly down from Scotland, IIRC, but G8 meeting will continue. Very suspicious that this has happened the very day the G8 meeting started. Couldn't do anything in Edinburgh because of all the security, so the next best thing - London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Listen guys, is there anybody who lives in London and can give some correct information on all of this and the situation there and who would be willing to make a call to a radio show? It's an Italian show in Rome for Lazio fans, the biggest in Rome, and we've been trying to contact some Laziali living in London but have been unsuccesful. Of course you would be speaking in English. Your help would be greatly appreciated, we're naturally very worried about the situation... You can mail me at ottokoskela@gmail.com or just post in this thread.

Getting a bomb together and making them explode at the same time in a bus isnt hardly a difficult thing to do. Then for people to say that they do it for "god" is even more irritating. I said they are backwards people because of their mentality and brutality. No one civil would do these kinds of things. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I don't disagree, but no-one civil would: 1) push the Palestinians out of their homeland and turn them into refugees 2) invade a sovereign country, Iraq, and kill tens of thousands of civilians What goes around, comes around. These acts are despicable, but Blair has blood on his hands. It makes it even more laughable that the war in Iraq was supposed to help fight terrorism! We will never have peace anywhere until the Palestinians are free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
