Get your news online. The Guardian website has remained refreshingly international, while still covering the London situation (understandably) in some depth.

Works for me

Why does moving out of London seem like a tempting prospect to me all of a sudden?

*not likely*

I've vowed not to talk with a London accent so I won't be targeted or requested to appear on the news or asked if I cycle to work.

Pffft :D

Seriously, I would like to know why I know witnesses to at least two armed raids and have heard of a sh*t load more; why streets keep getting evacuated; what the hell is going on; why the polis all have guns; and whether there is any suspicion of an attack in this city.. Even the bliddy Local News just waffles on about London. Gah!

I thought about 30\\% of the UK population lived either in Greater London, or within commuting distance of it?

Poor old Birmingham - even its extraordinary inner city tornado has been overshadowed by Northern Ireland, and more bloody London.

London is the centre of the universe.

Everyone should live here (sometimes it seems like they do).

It's funny you should say that, dg (and I've seen your comment above too), but it seems from here in Birmingham that we're having a lot of attention paid to us in the last 48 hours. Terrorists and tornadoes in two days. I went on the trail of the first one yesterday (see photos) and the bloody tornado came to me today - I've been out around the neighbourhood tonight and realised I'm lucky to have a roof on my house. More photos of that tomorrow...

Only way I get my news is by visiting you! Thanks for the Sharm link too. I used to live near the there - over the water from Egypt. Have to say though, I always did like my trips to the Big Smoke. Earning it's name these days, isn't it?

You just know that if that tornado had hit London we'd never have heard the last of it.
