Live near Manchester and travel regularly to London. Have felt on edge in the past travelling to London, never felt that way in Manchester even after last week.With terror threats and murder on the rise in the U.K. I'm interested in knowing how people cope/think about it ? People in London and Manchester have come together and stuck two fingers up at the Jihadis. Talking to some people today it was a mixed reaction, a few really scared, but the rest with a what will be attitude. Myself I'm thinking that if it kicks off with me there,how would I react ? I'd like to think I'd be macho and brave, but who knows how you'd react .
What do others think ?
A mate said the same. He said he'd run as fast as he could pushing people out the way. At least he's honest.I'd shit myself...then throw it at them!

You'd better hope she's wrong after writing that on here or else mi5 will be knocking your doorMy wife and I were talking today and she reckons a hospital will be the next target
Bit late nowi never thought of that :|
Hate to say it, in fact I'm not going to say it, but I fear it could be even worse than that,My wife and I were talking today and she reckons a hospital will be the next target
If I'm thinking the same as you, the spine shudders at just the thought of it!!Hate to say it, in fact I'm not going to say it, but I fear it could be even worse than that,
These people are monsters and their hate knows no bounds.
It does, but for these maniacs it's all about pushing boundaries and causing maximumIf I'm thinking the same as you, the spine shudders at just the thought of it!!

I don't doubt that for a second. It just doesn't bear thinking about.It does, but for these maniacs it's all about pushing boundaries and causing maximum
Shock and terror, their ultimate aim is to turn people against each other.
I've seen that iconic photo and it does say those things, I just fear the more things thatI don't doubt that for a second. It just doesn't bear thinking about.
The only people that are being turned on are Muslim communities who are being blamed for these idiots monstrosities.
Will they ever realise that things like this pull us closer together and make us stronger?
I remember a picture I once saw on twitter that summed it up perfectly. It was London the morning after the Blitz. Through the smoke and fire and rubble was a milk man doing his rounds as normal. And that picture spoke a thousand words. To me it said to ISIS, Hitler flattened half of London, he killed more than 30,000 people and injured nearly 100,000 more. If they didn't succeed, what chance have you got?

I'm not sure with the fragile relationships and breakdown between ourselves. I think it has always been one of them subjects where for years, through PC people have been too afraid to talk about it. They'll always be some far left PC brigader on hand to shout you down and out you as some massive racist and bigot for opposing some shitty scumbags idea of his religion. But people aren't afraid to talk about it anymore, we're growing stronger and more confident with every attack. Even some left wingers I know have had enough and think something needs sorting fast!I've seen that iconic photo and it does say those things, I just fear the more things that
Happen, the more fragile relationships will become in our communities.
I run a pub and some of the things I'm hearing over the bar off 'usually placid normal
Everyday people" are giving me a very uneasy feeling.
Maybe, but my guess is a university. So diverse, so many backpacks and rucksacks donned day to day anyway and so many thousands of students in and out, constantly moving.My wife and I were talking today and she reckons a hospital will be the next target
Bloody hell Brylowes! Give 'em a few ideas why don't you? Good positive thinking m8I think a lot of people still feel fairly insulated from it , its when they start hitting smaller cities, towns
and even Villages that it will really start to affect the way people live and behave.
Scary times indeed.
Yep...'Shock & awe' from Stormin' Norman was a reassuring rallying cry at the time. My how it seems to have come back to haunt us allIt does, but for these maniacs it's all about pushing boundaries and causing maximum

A few of us had this conversation on a previous thread a few weeks back. It is probably one of my biggest gripes about modern day life. It boils my piss. I fucking hate it. People around you are being murdered ffs. And your 1st reaction is to get you phone out and fucking film it?!?! Are you for real??!!??!!It's hard to say how I would react to it.
I'd like to think I'd be Jonny Concrete and lay them all out but in reality I'd shit myself and run. If my family were there then of course they would be first.
It also depends on the situation, if I thought they had bomb vests or guns it's completely different to knives. Even with a knife if you even tried to fight them you have to be pretty sure they aren't getting up or you find something to use so they can't get close. Their mindset is to kill as many people as they can and they are pumped up. To go from having a beer to get into that mindset with the flick of a switch would take some doing.
The other thing I thought about this is wondering if the terrorists are on drugs when they do stuff, that's also going to have an influence.
Puts into perspective the job of police and ambulance workers where they will run into the danger and then turn their backs and concentrate on victims rather than themselves and for a pittance too.
As ISSS says though, I certainly wouldn't be thinking about filming it or trying to get myself on the news.
I think most journos are lowlife anyway. Most would do anything for a scoop. But it's the general public that annoy me. Like most on here have said it's fight or flight. Personally I think the vast majority op people's initial reaction would be to run. And fucking Damn right too. It's all well and good being the big man when some piss head wants fisty cuffs outside kebabish, but when some nut jobs waving around an AK47? Get the fuck out, run as fast as you can. And if you can't run? Get your head down, hide, play dead!! Stand around and watch/film it?? Really?? Not me thanks!!You can see the pattern though, the other week when tiger killed the keeper somebody had a picture of the air ambulance.
Journalists were all over it like flies on shit.
Exactly, doesn't matter how hard you are if they have guns and huge machetes that will take your arm off and are intent on killing as many as possible.I think most journos are lowlife anyway.
