Tears of relief and anger.

Death tolls not coming in yet but its terrorism alright.

Hannah is okay, i searched the net and found the number for her work, got the number of where she was doing the training and they went and got her for me, rather unmanly i burst into tears the second i heard her voice.  She was a few stops before anywhere that would have put her in this and had only just heard about what had happenned while i spent half an hour shouting at my phone for not being able to connect (all the networks are getting overloaded) and some poor telesales guy got shouted at when he rang.  But shes okay, i also cant get hold of terry, hes in croydon so hopefully not affected, i hope hes not chosen this day to go in to london in fact i9 just got hold of him and hes safe so good.

My fears must seem rediculous to those affected, and for anyone else in or around london or who has friends or relatives there i wish you all the best and dearly hope no one has to have their lives wrecked by these fanatic terrorist bastards.  Ive only had the slightest link to it and i was terrified, i cant possibly imagine what anyone closer linked must be feeling right now and wish you all possible strength.

 

Blair just made a statement, was a bit worried hed appear to overdo it with his wierd pauses, but he handled himself well, his eyes had that horrible look of someone fighting despair. "its just one thing after another" they seemed to say.  But he came across as a leader, hes leaving the G8 to go to london and return to gleneagles later, hes insisted the meetings go on in his absence.

I was going to add to my blog from yesterday regarding the G8, olympic news and G8 protests that i havent watched the news so much since 9/11, now today takes taht title for tragically similar reasons. 

 

 

Ive just seen Ken livingstones statement

in any other world id have thought it the dialogue from some shmaltzy hollywood blockbuster.  But im in floods of tears. Absolutely fantastic show of strength, none of the despair that was subtly hidden in the eyes of blair and bush, the dialogue may have been clichéd, but it had strength behind it and is just the kind of thing the people of london must need now.  i remember years ago i went on a school trip to london where he was just beginning his campaign for mayor of london.  He was on a purple bus going through trafalgar and i screamed for no apparent reason "I LOVE YOU KEN!" just because at around 17 i thought itd be funny.  id do it again now :)
