Fare increases as a result of terrorist attack
Do NOT read if you dont like things in bad taste.
I dont want complaints from someone they are all offended and upset.
London transport have announced a significant increase in fare prices as a results of the terrorist attack.
It now costs an arm and a leg to travel on the tube, and bus fare prices have gone through the roof.

By reducing the actions to a joke, i think it lessens the real impact in terms of terror and hence isnt what the terrorist want, but obviously other people feel differently.

I`m sorry but i don`t see the funny side of up to 75 people dying is in the most horrible way.
My girlfriend was within a 100 metres of the bus bomb and past the tube bombs sites on the tube and is now only coming to terms with it.
The british way is to continue as normal difiantly, not to make pathetic jokes about someones suffering, she knows someone who spend 12 hours in the tunnels in up to 50c before being carried out, and he had two legs amputated.
WHAT IS SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT??????????????????????????????

read the start of the thread man, dont get ur arse up in the air, i can sympathise with what you have said but plenty of warning was given
it is the british way to be able to laugh at our own misfortune, you try tellin a joke like that to an american audiance about 911 and the reception is far different

The title sounded as if it were a sensible thread, it if it were "Unsensitive jokes about other peoples pain and suffering" then i would have not read it.
I`m not being stupid, some jokes just aren`t funny like the jokes about the tsnami vicums.
The point is some bastards who are not true islams have killed people of my country, and upset my girlfriend and her co workers. I want to see these bastards brought to justice, it is my opioin that is not funny as i`m sure a great proportion of people here do.
My girlfiend went to work the day after as many people did, that is what makes be proud to be british, not making jokes in bad taste.
The emergency services did a very good job and we all coped well, to me that is what i use to laugh at the bombers - that they failed to stop the british way of life.

people make jokes out of anything. yes it is a terrible thing that has happened and me and Rad saw one of the train wrecks down the A40 which was very sad to see. i hate the bastards that done it and im glad some of them died when they did it but as for this topic he did put a warning you didnt have to read it after you saw the warning. i was in the Ealing bomb that went off a few years ago that was scary it wasnt nice. but there was jokes about that.

I will admit i have laughed at bad jokes before(nowhere near as bad as these), but three things inclined me to write:
1) I`m stilll having to deal with the situation
2) Not everyones body has been recovered
3) The title was missleading regardless of the warning at the start
Even if i were not involved directly, I could not even bring myself to laugh from a morality stand point, thats just me, i do not expect every to follow what i believe though.

How did you manage to not notice the warnings?
I cant see hows that even vaugely possible for any normal person????
I dunno, you make an idiot proof warning system, and then along comes a bigger idiot
what happened was NOT funny, we are ALL appaulled by it, we all wish the injured well and the familes of the dead, and we ALL hope that the terrorists are brought to justice swiftly.
no one disagrees with any of that, but some people find humour a good way of blunting this threat, to laugh at it means you can come to terms with it and not be living your life in fear of it.
Thats some people, others will not find it funny, and hence i warned them thoroughly!

Thats my view
Thats my view
My view is that, its one thing to laugh at Terrorists. Make fun of Bin Laden and suicide bombers by all means. Its entirely another to laugh at the victims. And to write "we wont change our life to suit them" and all the talk of stoicism in the media is bullshit to be honest. Lives have been altered.
Oh and BTW. When Richard Whitely died somebody pointed out that Pneumonia was a 9 letter word. As he didnt take himself to seriously I feel he would have smiled at that. So thats acceptable to make a little joke about someone whose died.

Yes i must admit, i`m an niave idiot to think that no one would make such an insensitive joke at the expense of the vicims, before there bodys have been recovered.
A joke does take the edge of tense situations, but thoses jokes are discusting.
Those are jokes the terroists will find entertaining.
Rich w i`m glad you a least have morals!
If i were not involved i would still be disgusted, but not motivated to post.

Last time I checked the thousands of people that died driving was not a terrorist attack. And what if your wife/girlfriend/ partner died or was injured or just upset by a future attack, i`m sure you will be the first person to find it funny?
Road accidents are an unfortunate fact of life, suicide bombers shouldn`t be.

Fuck me, get off your moral high horses.
The man gave you all plenty warning, if you felt you would be disturbed by the joke, dont read it,
You have no right to moan the face of him because he has poor taste, he gave you plenty of warning.
This is one thing that annoys me about the internet, people being all politacally correct, and ranting on about shite because it makes them feel that they are better than the rest of us, seriously, get a grip for fucks sake

Suicide bombers? Do you know something the police dont?
