La Repubblica is reporting a far worse story than the BBC can, for obvious reasons. While here we have suggestions of 90 injured and two confirmed dead, at Aldgate, LR is reporting at least 70 dead, with 150 injured. Jesus Christ.

There are rumours flying around everywhere: that police shot a man with a bomb strapped to him in Canary Wharf, that Leicester Square's been affected (it hasn't, we'd see anything from our window)...it's just so crazy.

Tony Blair gave a wonderful speech at Gleneagles. That's it. Our music editor is now getting pissed off at receiving PR emails telling us about so and so's new gig. Life must go on, but some PRs seem to be intensely vampiric. Bless. What a surprise.
