I hope that anyone with friends and relatives in London, or who is in London themselves, finds everyone to be safe and well.

I've been expected a terrorist attack for some time now. I was used to them, growing up in Northern Ireland, but this is something else entirely. It's not surprising, but it is extremely shocking.

The terrorists appear to have taken two main issues into account. First, the G8 summit in Gleneagles and second, that it was during rush hour. I honestly don't believe the Olympics have anything to do with it, but it is still a possiblity. Whoever it was and whatever their motives aren't important at this time. What's important right now is giving the police and government the support they need to sort it out, and to hope or pray or whatever it is you do along those lines for the injured and dead.

That just about sums it up.
