The explosion in Parson's Green on the Underground is being investigated as a terrorist attack. People hurt but no deaths reported.
I could be wrong but it seems purely on reports so far to be a failed or not very effective bomb considering the lack of impact.

It could have been a whole lot worse. By recent accounts, it was a bomb that failed to detonate. It would have killed dozens had it gone off.
Londoners were more stoical than ever today. No '#prayfor...' nonsense or candle lit vigils. Just going to work and getting about like every other day of the week. Quite frankly, even with the terror level at severe most people just don't give enough of a shit about it.

Blame Khan. A joke of a mayor.

Concerning thing about the train and the underground, such an easy target. You only have to stand in a rush hour underground carriage to think of the carnage if you had someone like the Manchester bomber turn up. worrying really.

Blame Khan. A joke of a mayor. Why on earth would you " blame Khan" for an attempted terrorist attack taking place in London( just as they did under the mayorship of Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone?) I can only think of one reason why someone might try and " blame Khan" but I know no Oxford United fan could be such a small minded bigot.

Threat level now critical: definitely not smuggling any smoke bombs into the game tomorrow

5 arrests so far.
And none of them are Sadiq Khan so clearly not to blame Junior.

Surely he has a point as have the people with power been doing enough the answer is no. I would think the arrests are a start of a crack down on the people they have on a large watch list. Which should have been done following the first London attack this year.

That part of the met dealing with National policing (under which anti terrorism policing surely comes) is the responsibility of the Home Secretary.

Quite apart from anything else, including Junior's ill thought comment, this matter is the province of counter terrorism and those who work behind the scenes and advise accordingly. To point a finger at the mayor of London is ludicrous.
