It's a station on the London Underground - Parsons Green

It looks like a large plastic bucket has been filled with something, put in a bag and dumped on the tube. The device has gone off causing a flash fire. A few people have been injured but thankfully nothing serious.

It's getting a bit boring now. The intention is to divide us and cause in-fighting, but most people are shrugging their shoulders and carrying on as normal.

Device didn't detonate properly apparently.

22 people treated in hospitals - no fatalities reported so far.

It's about time politicians started doing some useful about it rather than letting it happen and then 'standing together' with each other and condemning it. Currently they are about as useful as a perforated condom.

What do you do?

Police numbers are slashed
Funding comes from the Saudis
People are too scared of being called a racist if they air concerns
Most of these muppets are homegrown
Communities won't speak out

Something can be done, but it won't be, because that would mean accepting there's a problem and that the problem stems from Saudi Arabia.

If there was any decent $$$ involved, they would have spent it building a better bomb

It all goes into mosques and mosque building. It's all to do with wahhabism.

I've seen worse fires in an ashtray , the thing didnt even melt the carrier bag it was in - all the people injured were in the stampede to get away from it , hardly the caring london society they keep banging on about .

All of these. As it is Governments are just passing the buck and doing sweet FA.

And as Kwacky says the root of the problem is Saudi Arabia.

I think Mr Duke may be of the opinion that any career politician could serve a really useful purpose if (for example in this tube train incident) they dived on top of the device to reduce it's impact.?

(nod) I'm sure you're right (again) Monty.
Enough of a fuss will be made of this latest incident, to ensure that our security services remain cushioned from the austerity policy. ;)
