London Calling

Great news today. British Police announced that in addition to the failed bomber that they'd caught earlier on in the week, they have now caught the other three too!

Well done chaps!

Londoners will still remain vigilant. After all there are still mad nutters out there but this is still a huge boost.

Walking through Hyde Park on the way home I was reminded of just how multi-cultural London is. It's the strangest place to be targeted in terms of the diversity of races that reside here and the freedom to be whoever you want to be.

It's also one of the reasons that I love London so. Granted our asylum procedures are very soft but for all the people that have a genuine desire to be here and a genuine desire to contribute to the mix it is just a brilliant place to live.

Who wants to live somewhere where everyone is the same?

I love to travel to meet people from other cultures and lifestyles but I rub shoulders with them (literally in the case of on the tube) every day and I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY!

Strolling through the park there was about 20 kids playing football. They represented a huge mix of race and probably religion. And they were having a great time together.

The picture was taken as I crossed the bridge over the Serpentine in Hyde Park. You can see Parliament in the distance.

Today's music on the move: ChangesBowie
