Does anyone know if the US are planning to lift the ban they've imposed on US troops visiting londong? There are currently about 12,000 US troops in England and they've been banned from visiting London after the bombings. Their families, who can not be ordered not to visit have been strongly advised to stay out too.

Sensible step in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist attack?

or as one UK newpaper put it:-

"It was business as usual in brave and resilient London yesterday -- though not if you were a member of the world's most powerful military machine," the Daily Mail said in an editorial.

As for me? well I think it's sensible for now, although I wouldn;t like to see the ban continue for very long!

I haven't heard anything, but i think it a wise choice for Americans to stay out for a while.

here in Birmingham, i have taken to talking in low tones, mummbling, or whispering in Mayhem's ear whilst we are out and about town. My accent is like a neon sign above my head saying "Look at me, I am an American" Before the 7th of July, i spoke aloud, with out a care. But now i am careful, and what few words i say aloud, like "thank you", i have been working on the British accent. I am not scared, just careful.

No...haven't heard a thing about it. But then, I get most of my news here...being so busy with work and all!

Keep us posted Fussy!

FussyPucker,

It should be lifted soon. They are are already doing the groundwork with statements like "...this restriction is being reassessed daily".
