FabSwingers.com forum: High alert London

Yet again we are on high alert which has to be taken serious this time having assisted on 7/7 it gets me that they know who these people are and yet seem powerless to stop them - obviously there are things we know nothing about and probably thankful that we don't. Is there too much coverage now making people panic ??

I lived in central London in the early 90's when bomb scares were common.

I heard the bomb on Downing Street go off from my bedroom. I was evacuated from stations, buildings and various places numerous times because of bomb scares.

It was get on with it or hide indoors and never go out.

I was working in a building considered high risk for attacks on 9/11, when there were fears there would be follow-up attacks in London.

You have to live your life and do your best to deal with what happens.

I don't think most people do panic, they get on with it. It's partly a British thing.

Keep calm and make more tea.

I think we have been quite lucky up till now but things are looking a lot worst here and all around the world.

Nobody would stay indoors and not go out though what difference would that make, you have to go out anyway.

The terrorist job is to create fear and panic first, kill maim and injure second.

People who perpetrate crimes such as these are effectively disruptive. So as far as I can see the job is done.

What is going on in London et al is nothing compared to the crimes our own government are doing elsewhere.

Two wrongs never make a right, communication has been proven in our history to be the key to peace.

Put yourself in someone's shoes in Baghdad or Helmand or West Bank to name a few, then maybe we will understand motive.

Don't listen to the lie!!

It may be easy for me to say this sat up here in a place that terrorists probably couldn't even point to on a map, but life has to go on. High alert or not, people can't stop living their life.

One mans terrorist is another mans hero. Comparatively how many bombs go off in London with say Baghdad?

We should count our blessings is what im saying, we as a nation march quite readily into the backyards of other nations yet we feel shocked and hurt when they come here.

Perspective please it helps us understand motive.

Seriously in the context of the thread does all that matter? Not really, its about being vigilant, not about why, be real. I for one am not counting my fucking blessings when these twats can and will and do disrupt the way we live our lives.

West Bank!!!!!!!!

Prey tell how that's the fault of our Government

Helmand

So chasing the Taliban and Alqueeda out of Afghanistan was a bad thing then

Baghdad

You'd better see Tony Blair about that one, and he ain't in Government now. Thank god

Bluezulu:

The British government armed and supported the Israelis to oust the already incumbent Palestine regime. Its historical fact, we consistently ignore terror in this region. I can't be arsed giving you a history lesson.

Afghanistan, ha, don't get me started on our righteous moral indignation on that one ffs.

Terrorist???? Really???? Just because we have a bigger army doesn't make us any less of a terrorist organisation.

Not worried about the why??? Omg I cannot believe people say that. Ignorance is not a defense, just ask any criminal defense lawyer.

Good debate

You never mentioned Baghdad !!!!!!!

We also armed most of Israel's neighbours too, supported Iraq during their war with Iran.

London as the OP points out has been put on a state of high alert because of a possible terrorist attack, which I might add isn't coming from any Israeli or Jewish organisation.

To be quite frank, I find your comments about Afghanistan laughable. Or would you prefer for the world to sit back and watch while girls are beaten raped and killed because they go to school, and women are forced back into the dark ages.

You can read my posts on the George Galloway thread to view my views on why I support Israel.

Oh and FYI I happen to know the OP personally and I know the job she does, Take care Londongirl, stay lucky, and above all stay safe

Well let's all hope it's neither then hey.

I am not paranoid and do get on with my life as it is a case of having to but people who live in areas that don't get

Attacks because it would achieve nothing should actually keep their gobs shut!!! People in Warrington never thought it would happen to them whereas us Londoners are used to it.

I suspect that 'tiny minority' is a more accurate description than 'majority' for the numbers involved in those demonstrations. 7/7 and the murder of Lee Rigby were met with widespread condemnation by the Muslim community. I'm struggling to see the point that you are making

The Muslims I know were horrified by the Lee Rigby affair. They are just normal peeps, like everyone else and get pissed off by being tarred by the same brush just because of the actions of a nasty minority. The same way I feel if I see EDL stuff.

SW London and Cotswolds

You have more chance of being killed by a bus in London than by a terrorists bomb. Have you seen the driving in London. I commute by bicycle to and from work so the chances are a lot higher for me.

I love women in Lycra. Lol

Whenever I'm in London I'm too busy trying to negotiate the trains and huge amounts of people there. If I'm with my grandchildren I'm trying to make sure I don't lose one. London is a very busy place,you need to be a detective to see anything suspicious that stands out

"Bluezulu:

Afghanistan, ha, don't get me started on our righteous moral indignation on that one ffs.

Terrorist???? Really???? Just because we have a bigger army doesn't make us any less of a terrorist organisation.

Not worried about the why??? Omg I cannot believe people say that. Ignorance is not a defense, just ask any criminal defense lawyer.

Good debate

I think maybe you need to read some modern history rather than the imaginings of those who make money out of selling stories.

To help you get started read about the Stern Gangs and the British fight to stop the Zionists occupying Palestine, that is a matter of historical record.

"Speaking of Paranoia, I've just been watching some of the Edinburgh festival coverage and one of the comedians is of mixed Arab/Indian/Jewish descent and he was pointing out that he always gets stopped in customs and looks like he is a person of interest to every security service in the world.... "

Your absolutely right, how dare the worlds security services use the past experience and the intelligence they spend millions collecting to develop profiles of those lightly to be of interest to them and then have their border security look for and check those that fit the profile! Its outrageous!

Its nearly as bad as police doing the same and targeting areas of high crime!

How dare they!

"How would you know what a pick pocket looks like either "

They are the ones that have their hand in someone elses pocket or bag!

Quite easy to spot if you know what to look for!

"I lived in central London in the early 90's when bomb scares were common.

I was evacuated from stations, buildings and various places numerous times because of bomb scares.

It was get on with it or hide indoors and never go out.
