“No Stunt Work Please, We’re Snowflakes!”

Midland 7/7 hero Paul Dadge has condemned producers of a Hollywood blockbuster for blowing up a bus in London.

He said Sunday’s explosion – for a film starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan – was “very insensitive” .

Who..?

Mr Dadge was famously pictured as he helped masked victim Davinia Turrell to safety during the atrocity which left 52 people dead.

Oh. Him. Got a taste for publicity now, have we? Nor are you the only one, as we’ll see…

Writing on Twitter, Mr Dadge said: “Would have been VERY easy to inform those involved in 7/7 this was going to happen.

“Other films have been made that have comparisons (that) could be drawn to 7/7, survivors have ALWAYS been informed ahead.

“Very insensitive.

“Also hope London Fire Brigade were being paid to provide fire cover for the film.

Well, yes. That’s usually what happens. Why would this be any different?

There are, of course, plenty of other sensitive souls eager for their 15 minutes:

The father of 7/7 victim Carrie Taylor also hit out over the decision to blow up a bus on Lambeth Bridge for the film The Foreigner, The Mirror reported .

John Taylor said: “You can totally understand why some people would be alarmed seeing this.

“Filming goes on in the city but this seems particularly insensitive. “Obviously the London attacks were ten years ago but if people didn’t know about it then of course they would be concerned.

“When planning this kind of event in the centre of London, with MI5 and MI6 are close by, you can understand that if people didn’t know about it, it certainly would give great concern to some.

“I know a lot of the families, of other victims and survivors, would be upset by this.

“Perhaps it wasn’t thought through as much as it should have been.”

And perhaps it was. So…were all the relevant authorities advised? Yes, it would seem they were:

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the force was made aware of the incident but refused to comment on whether members of the public were notified.

A spokesman for the Port of London Authority confirmed it was a stunt for a film but again could not confirm what safety processes had been put in place.

Transport for London tweeted a single message on Sunday morning confirming the bridge was closed for filming but again failed to inform Londoners and tourists there would be a huge explosion taking place.

No-one from the London Mayor’s office was available for comment.

Just what were the company supposed to do, take out full pages adverts?

If a film company can’t film a stunt in London, after following all the necessary procedures, then terrorists will have won, won’t they?
