What can I say?

London has come under attack. Al Quaeda operatives (NOT G8 ANARCHISTS OR FRENCH PATRIOTS, YOU FUCKING MORONS) have detonated explosives around the capital city of Great Britain.

Now we know how it feels - America's post-9/11 fear has struck Britain. I shudder to think what will come out of it. Above all, everyone is surprised.

But we shouldn't be - after 9/11, we were all waiting. Weeks, months, years passed. Our visions of Parliament crumbling under a 747 were slowly replaced with those of Olympic Glory and Bob Geldof. Our involvement in the Middle East was not forgotten, and we would pay.

And now we have.

(I am safe, as are those I love)
