Thanks for the advice
I know better. I really do, but last night I was sat in front of the TV watching Fox News, you know, just to see what they were saying. John Gibson was the host. And what a nasty little man he is.
John Gibson couldn't get his tiny brain around the fact that Tony Bliar had returned to the G8 meeting at Gleneagles to complete the aims of relieving global poverty and saving the environment. According to John, Tony should have stayed in London and started kicking arse, he was incredulous that the G8 summit was allowed to continue. Maybe John thinks Tony should have done things the Bush way. This, I suppose, would see Blair telling a boat load of lies prior to invading his father's least favourite country. Would that have solved anything? Has Bush's entire foreign policy since 9/11 achieved anything? It is impossible to say that the bombings on Thursday would not have occurred if we were not involved in the war against terrorism in Iraq. It is possible to say that the war on terrorism did nothing to prevent them.
The people of London are proud of their city and will not be beaten by terrorism. Mainline train stations were open by the end of Thursday, many returned to work yesterday, much of the Underground is open today and England will play Australia at Lords tomorrow. If we stop doing anything due to terrorism, then the terrorists win. Further, though 50 people were killed on Thursday, 200 in Madrid last year, 3,000 in New York in 2001, starvation will kill 30,000 people today. And another 30,000 people tomorrow. Global warming will kill many thousands more and effect the way all of us live our lives - unless we do something NOW. That is why Tony went back to Gleneagles. The people best qualified to deal with London's emergency were dealing with it. As any good leader should, he visited to oversee and to offer his support. He then got on with his agenda of helping the poorest, most disadvantaged people on the globe. To let them down would be the greater crime.
Speaking of crimes, should profiteering on the back of terror be legal?
I mean, my first thought when I heard -- just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, "Hmmm, time to buy."

Channel 4 News have just reported that the London Stock Exchange had its busiest day ever on Friday. The markets recovered most of their losses from Thursday but were prevented from peaking by people selling all the shares they bought cheaply on Thursday. Never forget that money is more important than people in their world.
