bloody hell, I guess this is one of those busy news weeks then...
As news is still coming through on the bomb blasts in London, and the injured are still being treated, already the conspiracy theorists are wasting no time in using the misfortune of others as a chance to trot out their favourite theories - have a look at some of the idiots commenting here, for example. I'm just surprised, given as how there are unconfirmed reports, as heard on BBC Radio Scotland a few hours ago, that Israeli delegates to a conference near the site of one of the bomb blasts were pre-warned by intelligence sources that some terrorist action was expected in London, that no-one has blamed the attacks on Mossad yet. Give them time, give them time...
Meanwhile, at Gleneagles, the G8 conference continues, minus Tony Blair this afternoon, somewhat overshadowed by events in the south. The demonstrators are still protesting, some so-called anarchists (who apparently have never read a history book in their lives if they think smashing in car windows and putting a Burger King franchise out of action for a few days is a worthwhile use of their time and a suitable target of their ire) give everyone else a bad name, and Dubya manages by sheer stupidity to do more physical harm to himself than any of his enemies has ever managed (first a pretzel, now a bike and a policeman - what a hero...)
I was particularly impressed by this protest yesterday morning - giving a new meaning to pointlessness.
