I worked in Manchester when the IRA bomb went off and I was also in the Arndale when the call came. When it went off it was horrific it was like the bowels of the earth were rising. I had to go to work the next day to retrieve paperwork and was let in through Police barrier. The streets were empty and for a good mile before I arrived every window in every building was gone and curtains were blowing in the breeze. When I got into my office where my desk and chair should have been was a big hole where the lift had blown through the shaft.
So I do know the feeling having witnessed it and lived to tell the story.
Difference with IRA most of the time they rang ahead to say there was a bomb (they had that day otherwise hundreds would have been killed) and there was room for negotiation. These tetrorists now are just psycopaths they dont want anything they just want all infidels dead and there is no warning. a reply to: grainofsand

If any of these threats become a reality then God help our leaders thats all I can say along with Corbyn and his crew because not only have they turned a blind eye to the radicals in this Country and the extremism they preach they have also helped in bringing more extremists into the Country.

In the UK, they can track any person on camera from Cornwall to Scotland, and if that person has a car and phone then this is done with ease.

You can't really blame the current leaders, this has the previous lots policies in removing Saddam as its cause. Tony Blair removed Saddam and that let Isis in to Iraq then Syria. Tony Blair is the man who destroyed the relative calm in the Middle East.

I have said it before but letting the extremists back in is actually not a bad idea if you think about it.Dometsic terrorist cells can be a nightmare to detect.
MI5 likely do it on purpose as they can wack heavy surveillance on them with the hope they go scurrying off in there community’s and contact over extremists. That MI5 can track and list all the terrorists and cells they never would have caught otherwise. Then when the time comes to pick them up, not only do they get the original extremists but a ton of others and cells.

I am pretty sure that the middle east was somewhat turbulent before the Blair Era and that he had some help from Mr Bush with that fiasco.
Intelligence agencies are the bane to any real democracy.

Er, no they cannot. Too much time spent on websites that spill rubbish.
In the UK the CCTV is completely uncoordinated. They can only piece together snap shots from myriad private CCTV and tha's patchy outside of city centres where shop and traffic cameras are common.

And if we are to change it then it requires people getting actively involved in the political process and not just whining, something the vast majority of people choose not to do.
A topic for another thread methinks.
