The concensus/shock has gone then,  and it’s giving way to fo-partisan comment (which I’m sure was partly delayed by the Big Bloggers getting in there before the papers).

The Evening Standard is full of suggestion that British muslims need to take a good hard look at themselves - aparently ‘they’ aren’t condemming it enough (obviously what we need is  some Make Terrorrism History wristbands). 

But the most worrying thing (apart from the stage-showing by the BNP) is what murdoch is up to. The US press, notably the New York Times - the Dirty Digger’s american mouth peice of choice - is branding London Londonistan.  We can safely assume that such comment will be making it’s way to The Sun and The Times pretty soon. Infact Richard Little Cock (small cock, big opinion) has already been at it.

The oddest thing though, is that none of this seem to fit with general opinions of Londoners. Even Tony Blair seemed to temper his tone a bit in Parliament in recognition of Ken’s synopsis of the public mood and (possiably) that set by the bloggers. Are the journo’s really out to investigate and report? Or just to take their angle on things, whilst trying to claim authoship of the 7/7 branding?

Spoke to soon:

In the Times this morning Alice Miles is demanding we tear into those Muslim ghettos instead. Force them to open up. Make the imams answer.

Whilst Daniel Finkelstein has been chastising the BBC for using the term bomber instead of terrorist.
