The Anonymous Widower

July 7th 2005, Six Years On

Today is six years to the day since the London bombings of July 7th, 2005.

I didn’t suffer in any way and wasn’t even in London at the time, but still my heart goes out to anyone who suffered loss or endured physical or mental trauma at the time.

I must admit though I’m getting rather annoyed with the media images shown every time the horrendous bombings are mentioned. Showing the bus with its top open as if  operated on by an enormous tin-opener surely doesn’t serve any purpose,when Wikipedia can illustrate the scale of the horrors, by just showing the emergency services lined up outside Russell Square station.

It is about time the media moved on and stopped showing the damaged bus and trains.

But then they rarely do!

For over five years now, every time the BBC talks about breast cancer, they show the same poor lady being scanned.
