My scepticism of the lack of warning and foreknowledge has been vilified, as is my belief that the knighthood awarded to Rushdie was a blatant provocation.

From http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23402430-details/Were+car+bombs+revenge+for+Rushdie%27s+knighthood/article.do
Police say there was no prior indication of a possible terrorist threat - yet it has emerged that a message appeared on a popular jihadist website on Thursday night seemingly predicting an attack.
Hours before police dismantled the first car bomb, a posting on the Al Hesbah chat forum pointed to an imminent Al Qaeda bombing in London.
The message, posted under the name Abu Osama al-Hazeen, gave the invasion of Iraq and the recent knighthood for Salman Rushdie as justification for a fresh terrorist attack on Britain.
================================
Point 1: a message stating London was to be bombed was posted on a popular Jihadist website, giving the exact day.
Q1 : Who should be constantly monitoring these sites every second of every day considering we are constantly under threat, allegedly?
Q2 : who should know who the posters are? (they know who I am and I use a nome de plume).
Point 2: Iraq and Rushdie were cited as reasons
Q3: Who is in charge of the Arts & Media subcommittee of the Honours Committee which recently recommended Rushdie's knighthood (even though I think Rushdie has lived in the USA for several years)?

The Times is alleging that a threat warning was issued to clubs across the UK, and supplies the link to a PDF file, which is just a general advisory brochure on raising security issues and awareness.

This is not evidence of forewarning or foreknowledge.
However, the statement issued on the website is and should have been acted upon.
interesting hypotheis
