They're idiots. The police are on it, and if they find a bomb, it will only serve to make us more angry.

You really have to wonder what the hell these Islamist fools are thinking, just because they leap up and down like retarded jackals that somehow we're supposed to be intimidated. Yes, shut up, Abdul.

I hear you my friend. Years ago there were many Democrats of that same nature in our country. Today you can count then on one hand in the House and Senate.

Although I disagreed with them on some issue when it came to national security the differences ended.

I'm so proud of y'all, I cannot properly tell you.

Stiff upper lip and then some. Y'all showed them GOOD. Went right on with daily business and that alone said "up yours, you cretins."

Lets hope this is a false alarm, but better an ounce of prevention.

My favourite moment of the evening was watching a young man - reluctantly leaving the pub, but complying as we all did with the request. He was standing on a grass verge with his pint and yelling 'HEY TERRORIST. TERRORIZE THIS!' - and downing his pint in one. Then saying 'No bloody islamic nutter is keeping me from me beer'. All to wide applause.

LOL.

Our famed sense of humour.

And drinking abilities.

I say God save the Queen and Great Britain, and the good and brave people of the U.K.

Now here's hoping they find those terrorist bastards, hang them in the city square, gut them and let the birds have at them.

Religion of peace my ass.

Yeah, she seems to be the only one with the, shall one say, 'figuartive physical equipment', to state what many are thinking.

Terrorism pays. The Palestinians have been given enough aid and money to reach the moon. After they establish their 'country', they'll run it into the ground, so the US and allies will continue bail them out until the cows come home. (And Israel will be blamed.) God only knows what Britain will or can do with 1.8 million Muslims now in London. The mind boggles.

If it's a false alarm, better safe than sorry. If it's real, well then the police did their job and intercepted it. Any which way you look at it, another big failure for Al Qaeda.

I didn't know that about you. Geeez, I'm sorry. Must have been truly horrid for you to endure. No wonder you keep a close watch on terrorism. Good that you do.

Clarification, there are 1.5 million Muslims in all of Britain as of 1997.

Many if not most of these are of Pakistani rather than Arab origin. Relax a bit, will you?
