You would think they are talking about 26/11/2008. But when I saw Tony Blair’s name, I scrolled up and saw the date of the post.

They are mourning July 2006 train blasts.

It is the same quotes, same platitudes, same reactions today, and I think will be the same tomorrow and the day after.

Nothing changes, especially not the “Political Leaders of The World”
