Well, fucking hell, London is getting blown up again.

I remember as a kid when there seemed to be IRA bombs going off all the time, so in a way I'm not shocked by it. But still, the idea that we potentially have suicide bombers now operating in the UK is pretty fucking chilling. How do you stop something like that? I'm sure Labour will take the opportunity to push through all their police state wank fantasies like ID cards, despite the fact that they're pretty much guaranteed to fail to stop any other people if they fancy blowing themselves up. Great.

I just hope the British people comport themselves well and there isn't some wave of anti-Muslim violence in the wake of this attack.

Weirdly I heard about it when I got to Dave's this morning to work on a song I'd written the day before about a civil war happening here, the lyrics about explosions in the capital sounded a little odd in the light of today's events. But I guess that was the point of the song, that people in places like Yugoslavia or Chechnya probably never thought their homes would turn into warzones.
