[lbo-talk] "London's Burning" -- The Clash

[B.]

"Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a
home
I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning,
Dial 99999
--The Clash, "London's Burning," 1977

"Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in
its northern, southern, eastern, and western
quarters."

--statement from terrorists claiming responsibility
for July 7, 2005 London attacks

"Blog" of guitarist of London-based punk band Chaos
UK:

"More people die on roads in london in a week than in
this attack. More londoners kill each other than have
been killed.

Out of the 1000s of people commuting at that time
apparently there was a 1 in 6000 chance that ya could
have been killed in a bomb attack in London this
morning. Id take that bet!"
