starsandseaAs you may or may not know, a car was found in central London this morning that had a bomb inside. Anther one was found in the afternoon. The way that the media are portraying it, the world is about to end, AND WE'LL ALL GOING TO DIE A LONG AND PAINFUL DEATH!!!!!
Please. Okay, so they've had to close to some roads, but really, it's not that much of a difference. It's just like there was some road works there, or the had been an car crash, or a water pipe had burst or something. They're also saying that no one had claimed responsibility yet. Hello! It didn't work! I don't think anyone's going to say that they did it, when nothing happened!
And I mean, really, people have been trying to destroy London for nearly 2000 years! Boadicea didn't (quite) manage to do it. The Viking's didn't do it. The Norman's didn't do it. The Plague didn't do it. The Great Fire of London didn't do it. World War 1 didn't do it. World War 2 didn't do it. The IRA didn't do it. People have a really bad track record of trying to destroy London!
They're saying "Terror is back on the streets of London!" Um, London has a terrorist attack, like, once every 3 years. It's been that amount of time since the last one. I was half expecting one soon. And I'm sure other people were too. So, just, please. Stop the mad running about because THERE WAS AN ATTEMPTED TERRORIST ATTACK! I'm sad to say that I'm sure there's going to be many more, and not just in London, for a long time to come.
