And Europhobia&#8217;s own Matt was by Warren Street tube when this all kicked off, as were a couple of other good friends (the joys of being ex-UCL&#8230;). All a tad shaken, obviously, but will be taking the piss before the day&#8217;s out, I have no doubt.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agoyandhisblog.com\/?p=43\">Most sensible response of the day so far<\/a>. (Note: that last statement may contain traces of sarcasm&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p><b>Update again:<\/b> Earlier reports of a black\/asian man with wires hanging out of his pocket being looked for at UCH seem to have been nonsense. And the guy arrested on camera in Whitehall <s>merely happened to have dark skin<\/s> was an innocent bystander. As of yet, no confirmed &#8211; released &#8211; descriptions of the bombers, which is odd.<\/p>\n<p>This also means, as the guy reported arrested near Warren Street has also been released, that all four are &#8211; as far as we know &#8211; still at large. But not for long &#8211; not with that amount of CCTV and witnesses, not to mention the intact rucksacks and unexploded bombs.<\/p>\n<p>Still, all round this looks very much like the underwhelming sequel &#8211; more Batman and Robin than Batman Returns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry&#8230; Predictable, but couldn&#8217;t resist&#8230; Liveblog coverage here A brief roundup of today&#8217;s blog coverage: Perfect.co.uk, Tim Worstall, Andrew Ian Dodge, Yorkshire Ranter, Counterterrorism Blog, A Fistful of Euros, Bloggledygook, WikiNews, Blood and Treasure, Wizbang, Jeff Quinton, Uncle Sam&#8217;s Cabin, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/2005\/07\/tube-bombs-2-electric-boogaloo\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-london-terror-attacks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jcm.org.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
