Well, I think we got our points across. We organised so that we had someone on every channel, on every news programme. That was round one. There will be more.

The Guardian on chaos leads for calls for public enquiry, Survivor's Stories, Q&A, Intelligence needed, Emergency services criticised, survivor John Tulloch
The Financial Times on 7/7 communication problems
The Telegraph on radio failure, 'It was like you'd imagine hell to be'

The only thing the Guardian seems to have missed is that instead of calling for an independent inquiry they seemingly instead asking for the intelligence and security committee to be beefed up. I'd suggest sending a letter, although it is of course up to you.
