and it did not only affect us, i have friends in the USA who have told me that once it was known it was a terrorist attack in london, several of the major cities in the USA including New York halted thier public transport for immediate security checks.

they also stopped the trains into Cardiff as well as closing the bus station. All is back up and running now though. They did take all the bins away though.

G/f works in London, the route she takes on the tubes got hit but she was not on it that day, thank god

I would'nt blame the goverment, this type of stuff has been happening in Britain for years, anyone remember the IRA ??? its very hard to win when the enemy dont wear a uniform, if someone wants to strap and conceal a bomb to themselves and are willing to kill themselves then there's not much anybody is gonna do about it, and unfortunatly the law WILL NOT protect the security services if they shoot someone down and it turns out to be a bad decision (anyone remember the SAS in Gibralter who shot the IRA just as they where gonna detonate a bomb amd kill innocent public people, the SAS soldiers got taken to court for gods sake Evil or Very Mad

)

When we where in Northern Ireland on patrols we where always told that if we shot a terrorist before he committted the crime then we would get charged as he had not actually committed an offence at this piont, and if we shot him after he had committed the act then we would still get charged as he had already committed the crime so you where not gonna stop the crime now as he had already committed it ....so we would have been better of not carrying bloody rifle's for gods sake,

Private Lee Clegg shot and killed a man after he drove at him at an Army check point in NI, and what did Lee Clegg get ?? tried in a court and sent to fookin jail for 25yrs ???? but after a few years got released after an appeal, i could go on,

The goverment try to make things harder for the terrorist but the "doo gooders" out there start crying "thats an infringment on our human rights" and all that pish, just like they are doing with the ID cards, i thinks we should all get an ID card, it might not save the world but every little helps, and if you've got nothing to hide then whats the problem ?? at the end of the day we are living in changing times where terrorists are getting smarter and "playing the system" and if the goverment has got to do some things that piss people off to keep the public safe, then so be it.

We never hear about the secret raids and countless hours of work our security forces do and the lives that they have saved so far that we just dont hear about, but as soon as one gets through the net then suddenly everyone becomes an expert, with the "Rules of engagement" that all our security forces (Army, Police etc) are faced with and the shit they get if they get it wrong, i think they are doing a great ...but unfortunatly thankless job.

I was there, if I hadn't taken so long working out where I needed to go on the Underground from Finchly and putting it into my phone I could have been on that train.

I was evacuated out of Kings Cross and was directed to get onto the number 30 bus instead, I waited to get my bearings first and then the bus blew up.

Never seen so many Police cars forcing their way through traffic, paramedics running between the now stationary traffic to get to the scene. Mobile phones stopped working, payphones either didn't work or were intermittant the only way to get a call out was to dial 100 and do a reverse charge. Everyone was coming to me and asking for help and directions because I bought an A-Z to get me around.

All in all a very stressfull day, I walked from Kings Cross to Swiss Cottage to my meeting and arrived two hours later covered in sweat and rain.
