Who'd live in London right now

Who'd live in London right now.

I guess a result of an open immigration policy and 'open' borders is that the floodgates can open. This is exemplified in London which has a vast array of cultures and peoples. When I lived there I liked it. Now that I'm gone, I like the fact I'm no longer there. Why?

Intelligence chiefs are warning Tony Blair that Britain faces a full-blown Islamist insurgency, sustained by thousands of young Muslim men with military training now resident in the country. The grim possibility that the two London attacks were not simply a sporadic terror campaign is being discussed at the highest levels in Whitehall, the centre of the British government.
As police and the security services work to prevent another cell murdering civilians, attention is focusing on the pool of migrants to Britain from the Horn of Africa and central Asia. Intelligence service MI5 is working to an estimate that over 10,000 young men from these regions can use light weapons and military explosives.
A well-connected source said there were more than 100,000 people in Britain from "completely militarised" regions, including Somalia and its neighbours in the Horn of Africa, and Afghanistan and territories bordering the country.
A very high proportion of these 'militarised' are Muslim men.

3,000,000 people use the tube without incident every day, and people have put the bombings into perspective very quickly. The most shocking thing is that the first bombers were acting alone. Naturally the government will spin it to serve their ends as they prosecute an unjustified war in Iraq and increase their attack on personal freedoms. The article you cite is paranoia and fear mongering, pure and simple.
