I'm angry

I have a love-hate relationship with London.

I wasn't too keen on the place when I first moved here - it was too noisy, smelly and crowded compared to where I'd grown up.

Since then, it's grown on me a little. It's still too noisy, smelly and crowded but I've come to appreciate that sometimes the noise is of music from all corners of the world; smells can be from exotic foods and spices; the crowds are tourists coming to see the world-famous attractions and residents who make up the varied multi-cultural population that makes the city so vibrant.

I may sometimes hate London but she's my capital city and my home.

How dare they attack this city that has stood for over two thousand years? This city that has withstood invasion, plague, fire and war?

It is sickening, as is the awful effects it will now have. I noticed whilst walking around my town security guards with bullet proof vests, Never happened before and looks really strange in a small town in Wales.

What really bugs me is the nanny state. We are always on CCTV, speed cameras, can't be trusted not to smoke. Cant defend our homes. Our politicans get an 11 week holiday whilst their cleaners get minimum wage and get less then 2. Time tom emigrate to a remote caribbean island that is safe from Tsunamis
