Misfit Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Holy *beep*.. just thought of something.. the terrorists have brought London to a standstill, and it is now open to an even larger attack, which could kill thousands. Link to post Share on other sites
TimeToDie Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Blair would be stupid to come back into london - if i was a terrorist group that would be exactly what i would want to happen. a series of explosions that cause the leader of the country to go back to the capitiol and the danger zone. Downing street isn't that far from covent garden station (one of those affected) so if he returns they could get to him I reckon he should stay out of london and head to maybe sandringham or one of the other castles and get clearance from the queen to use the facilities their to coordinate it. But definately not somewhere near the danger zone Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 In his conference he said he was returning to London though, have you even seen how much Downing Street is protected? They've got those ramps so if a suicide bombers tries to drive through and blow himself up, he'll just smash into the barriers and crush himself. It's well defended, it's got snipers on the roofs of his house and other buildings around the area. He could also go to his Underground 'Lair', which is basically nuke proof.
