I think that sometimes, the media dwell on images of destruction just to keep the people fired up in outrage against the perpetrators, but what they don't seem to realise is that these same images fire up the groups that initiate these things with glee and pride in what they have 'achieved..'

I wish they would show more stuff about people getting on with their lives, being unaffected too much by all this because that is the TRUE picture, but I guess the media thinks that's boring, ay?? :0(

I watch FOX news and this morning they gave a good report on the Party in the heart of London and it was all the folks who could not get home due to tube closing. They said it was to show the bombers they did not get you...

We are starting random searchs on our subways here in NY today... Comish Kelly said the Mayor of London has shared so much information with NY... we have 6 million riders and a huge system....

Glad to see the party covered... in fact the coverage was positive not about negative.

Well, it's bluddy good to hear that at least one news caster has got it right then..!

Have a look at the stats on this site Kath..http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/press-centre/ ... -facts.asp and you'll see why there is a huge problem for the security guys.
