Bombings 'severely stressed' 31%
A real chestnut from the beeb this one. One that made me splutter coffee all over my desk in apoplectic fury this morning. I'll have to print those documents off again now. Behold: Almost a third of Londoners overall but nearly two-thirds of Muslims suffered substantial stress following the 7 July bombings in the city, researchers say. Muslims may have suffered more because of fears of reprisals, they said. The British Medical Journal study also found that 32% of the 1,010 questioned were to reduce use of public transport. But researchers said the study - carried out before the 21 July attacks - showed the bombers had not created a city too stressed to get on with life. The research was carried out by London's Kings and University Colleges and the Health Protection Agency. And do you know what Aunty Beeb, I really couldn't give a sh*t - for a community that has been notably ambivalent at best and silent at worst concerning Islamist atrocities across the globe they're getting their dessert with a cherry on. FFS. In light of Fred's comments about this becoming a hate site I would like to qualify my rant by saying that the object of my vitriol is the head-patting, patronising tone of the Beeb editorial.
