"This country kept calm and carried on in the face of terrorist threats by the IRA for 30 years. We will endure and we will prevail. And we should not give in, nor find ourselves on bended knee in the face of cowardice and evil.

"No. Why would I change my plans ? I don't refuse to travel by coach each time I hear that one crashed killing over 100 people. I don't refuse to fly because someone else's plane went down with similar life losses. There are many other examples. It's the media and others that enjoy drama that hype it up. Use your energies in other ways. A day of hiding in case you are blown up is a day wasted. The odds of it NOT happening are astronomically high. " I dont think its a day wasted if i makd sure im more aware of whats happening around me. | |||

"In light of the most recent atrocity in Manchester and the previous attacks in London, have these events made you change your plans? I was disturbed yesterday to hear on the news that the ticket resale websites had had their busiest day ever of people trying to sell their gig tickets.. Now I know it's just a knee jerk reaction to what was a sickening act of violence against innocence, but I don't recall any previous terrorist attack having quite as much impact.. What disturbed me was that it feels like this last attack was the final straw and that we, the British public are now terrified of an attack and are letting those with intent to do us harm, win. " no it hasn't you can't live for them nutcases that young boy has been conditioned to do that all his life its an illness not a religion ,although I feel extremely upset for those who have lost love ones and who have people who were injured ,I have not followed the story and dont intend to its another of life's tragedies I live for the positives ,we can't stop individuals or groups of individuals who do this it will carry on until the end of time .I will not change anything I do to suit them | |||

"I said ' a day in hiding is a day wasted' ...... " I dont think it is. I think some people are very anxious about terror attacks and if they spend a day keeping away from places and situations they fear then its not wasted at all. It could help them calm themselves and think it through. | |||

We have become desensitised to such violence.. the 6o'clock news always shows images of war torn countries and distressed parents carrying dead family members following a bombing or other attack.. However, this was on our doorstep and now we are sitting up and paying notice.. I do find that a sad state of affairs that we don't consider the human tragedy that unfolds in front of us on out 42" screen, yet if it happens on our own little island everyone is up in arms. Don't get me wrong, I'm not detracting from what happened in Manchester, but perhaps us brits need to pay as much heed to the atrocities that take place overseas and feel outrage for the innocents in those places. | |||

" People live their lives so differently in modern times. Posting a picture on FB or a sentiment is sufficient to brush aside any horror. As for being affected? Sure the usual crowd will claim they're standing up to anything and anyone but I'm guessing many folk will wonder about crowded events and venues. They'll still go but a sense of cation will always be evident." I'm pretty certain that hubby, myself and the other 8000 people watching Iron Maiden last night in Cardiff really didn't give two fucks about a sense of caution! | |||

But the mere fact people are talking about it so much,shows such acts have an effect. Acts of terrorism are rare but they do affect the public. Schools discuss it with pupils, we hold services, and security is increased. Blindly assuming nothing will happen with current activity may make you feel better, but being cautious is wise. | |||

"This isn't aimed at anyone in particular but when people talk about being more vigilant and more cautious what do they actually mean?" More vigilant could mean making sure you know where emergency exits are in unfamiliar places; I've done a lot of fire safety training so looking for fire exit routes is second nature. For me the enhanced risk has simply made me update my first aid kit and to carry it more | |||

"This isn't aimed at anyone in particular but when people talk about being more vigilant and more cautious what do they actually mean?" I can only comment for me but to me it means having a high level of 'situational awareness'. It's something I've dine since a young age, it comes quite naturally. Not always a good thing as I'm prone to anxiety. | |||

"no but i do have thoughts about what if whilst im whereever " Same here, I have the 'what if it happens' thought and what I'd feel if it did. My next thought is often 'there's nothing I could have done to prevent it apart from staying at home, bunkered in'. Which is exactly what these scumbags want us to do. | |||

"This isn't aimed at anyone in particular but when people talk about being more vigilant and more cautious what do they actually mean?" Most people wander around with little awareness of their surroundings. From life experience ( and training, having lived in many " dodgy" countries); awareness is; 1. Taking notice of who is around you. I tend to glance all around me every so often ( defence against mugging/ pickpockets anyway; they can easily spot people who are not taking notice if their surroundings) 2. Notice people carrying bags/ rucksacks. 3. Wherever you are in public places; knowing where emergency exits are; routes to open spaces. 4. In cafes, restaurants etc, I always try to sit so I can see the entrance/exits. 5. In streets, try to avoid being in the centre of crowds; walk in the less crowded parts of the street. 6. Know where you are all the time ( street name etc); then if something happens; you can tell emergency services exactly where you are. This is not only anti terrorism measures; it is defence against muggers etc too. If you do this all the time; it becomes second nature, and you feel (and are) secure. | |||

"No I went to London the weekend after the attack at Westminster. We can't be 100% safe wherever we are. I saw armed police when I went out last night and I've never seen them in a town near me before. It did make me look twice but i guess it's the way it has to be at the moment. " In Upton?

"My friend and I have already said we do t want to take our daughters to see little mix in October @ the motorpoint arena in Cardiff. After what happened the other day when I was in Swansea and there was a hoax bombs are and we were evacuated, I don't want to go to any of the cities now. Was supposed to have a kids party in lazerzone Cardiff on the 3rd of June but the mother has cancelled it and changed the venue as its right by the millennium stadium and is the day of the champions league final so will be, I assume, armed soldiers around. Too confusing and scary for a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds to see all these people with machine guns walking round. I'm staying in my local village and towns. " Was in the motor point on Weds night. Yes there are more police about and I did see a couple of armed coppers wandering about, but it's not obtrusive at all and it's not like there's cordons or checkpoints to intimidate anyone. You're actually safer going to an event now than you would have been last week. Don't let these bastards win! | |||

Ahhh you sound like that army guy I dated! He's air platoon now but was Para reg for 12 years. We were in a busy motorway services and we both went for a pee, I finished first and went out to wait for him but there was a massively stampede of people and I got bustled away, was worrying cos my phone was in his car and more importantly my fags, anyway next thing his hands were on my shoulders, said he spotted me straight away. I remember for those couple of seconds feeling really safe! It sounds cheesy but he just gave off this feeling that if shit went down you'd be safe with him! | |||

" Yes; should have added; If you are with someone, or in a group; know where they all are. Even do the " if we get slip up, meet at X place". That's common sense anyway. In a group, in dodgy places, we used to do something called " shark watch ". One person in the group doesn't get pissed, and watches out for the others. Always keep your phone with you. And make sure it's charged. | |||

"No the aim of terrorism is to scare you out of normal life beat them by living without fear" Not really. The objective isn't having everyone scared to live their lives. I think it varies from one madman to the next, but there's usually a cause they feel strongly about, a political situation they're unhappy with, or some trumped-up religious justification. I think it's about making a statement, being taken seriously, and being heard. Terrorists don't do atrocious things because they want imdividuals to 'stop living their lives'! | |||

Why won't you listen to what they are telling us? There is no salvation by faith in Islam like in Christianity. The one guarantee of salvation is to die in the cause of Allah (Sahib al Bukhari 52:46). That's why so many broken Muslims turn to offensive Jihad: they doubt their sinfulness can be rectified. You have to read the material. It's politically incorrect to even mention the violent verses so we never get to see it and dangerous opinions form. Putting a nail and shrapnel bomb in a concert with children or stabbing a 12 year old Jewish girl to death in her bed is not "wanting to be heard" and it is a disgrace to call it such. This is not our fault. | |||

I think it's about making a statement, being taken seriously, and being heard. Terrorists don't do atrocious things because they want imdividuals to 'stop living their lives'! " I think, generally speaking, you're correct about the aims of terrorism. However, when it comes to Islamic extremists, especially those aligned with Isis, I think the aim is very much an assault on the western way of life. They are making a statement against western culture in general. That is both our military actions in the middle east as well as our perceived materialism and waste. Isis hasn't hidden the fact that they are fighting a culture war. They encourage western rhetoric against Islam because it promotes their goal of a culture war. It's why Obama was so careful in how he spoke about religious extremism. Anyway, as I said, I think you're generally right about the aims that terrorists have. But I don't think it translates to Islamic extremists, and Isis fighters in particular. I think they very much want to scare us into changing how we live our lives so long as we live them according to western values. | |||

"You're probably right. My point was that using the phrase, 'they want us to stop living our lives', is too glib an interpretation." That is a good point... and understanding the motivation of people before they become radicalised is key to reducing this threat. Unfortunately too many like to blame immigrants and muslims in general for this, not realising that their hatred and anger is what can drive British born people to extremism | |||

I can understand why people in the immediate aftermath of a terrorist incident why people would change their plans but they will quickly be forgotten, as only repeated attacks will change people's behaviour and no terrorist organisation currently mounting operations in this country could sustain such attacks.

"I'll be avoiding massive crowds, so rather than watching the glorious Sheffield United, I'll perhaps support Barnsley instead next season. . No, actually, I'll risk it." That's just taking it too far... like anyone would support Barnsley... | |||

"I have not changed my plans, but I would consider not going to a gig or big stadium/arena if I was taking my kids. I agree we should not let it beat us. But we need to do something, every time its attack, prey and change profile pics then go back to normal. If we do the same thing all of the time we will get the same outcome. We will not stop this until we stop poking our noses in to countries we do not understand and are not wanted. Foreign policy is a huge reason, more so the way we support groups to do our bidding and then it goes pair shape. They are scum, murderers and cowards, but how easy to turn young men against the west when they can show them what we are doing and who is being killed on a daily basis in Iraq and Syria etc. Rant over! " Do you not feel we as civilised people have a duty to help others in need? There is a humanitarian crisis unfolding at the hands of these maniacs hiding behind a religious cause... If we sit back and let Ill equipped local militia try to deal with the insurgent forces attacking, raping and murdering their civilians, they won't stand a chance. The sad and unfortunate truth is this requires a multinational task force to go in to the countries that actively harbour these terrorist groups and eradicate them for good.. If they don't, the terrorist cause will just keep growing, sucking in more people and the frequency of attacks will escalate. We all saw what a well organised terrorist group are capable of with 9/11.. So when do we sit up and listen, when a capital city becomes a no go zone because a dirty bomb had been detonated? You want to kill the monster, you have to cut its head off!! | |||

"I don't have any plans for gigs or events, but although I live in a small town there's a very popular music venue close to me and there's a lot of well advertised shows there in the next few months, so I am a little concerned. However I expect the security for those events will be beefed up." But why? To be frank, if I were minded to go out and kill a load of innocent people (which I am not). I'd simply tip up at a big Tesco/Asda/Sainsbury's on a Saturday morning anywhere in the country. There is nothing our security forces can do to cover every eventuality. If someone wants to do this, it's relatively easy (especially if they don't bother with a bomb and go the truck route). So why worry? The truth is that it is really really unlikely, certainly less so than being killed in a car crash. Are you going to stop driving? | |||

I understand that but I also know that treating everyone of a type as though they will do something leads to animosity. After 7/7 I saw a Sikh with a sign on his backpack that read 'Please don't freak, I'm a friendly Sikh' and had my young, Asian male member of staff feel he had no choice but to shave off his beard because he was embarrassed at how he suddenly had whole tube carriages to himself. | |||
