London Under Attack!

I have just finally gotten into work. In short, all subways and busses are stopped. There have been a number of explosions and fatalities on busses and subways. The power on the whole London Underground System is out. All stations are sealed off. Busses are not allowed to move into central London. I saw a lot of police speeding into the city while trying to get to work myself (finally by sharing a taxi). Some streets are closed off by the police and all major department stores are closed with security posted outside. A hell of a way to celebrate the winning of the Olympic bid! With 10,000 Welsh and English special police at the Gleneagles summit, whoever thought this up must have calculated that there is not enough to deal with disruptions over here. They might be right... more later
