    these are not situations where one party is intent on casualties

    So you don't mind travelling to London to possibly die in a car accident, but you are put off by the much less likely event that you die in a terrorist attack?

      I kid you not this could quickly descend in to civil unrest

      or isn't it already civil unrest ?

        yes, I have more chance of avoiding a fatal car accident, than a terrorist attack, on top of this I'll be with my wife and two children, and I have even less chance of protecting the 4 of us from an attack

        until the government demonstrates measure to get this under control, it's not worth the risk

        as I said, under current law I am not permitted to provide myself with measures of physical protection

          I think, Milan, that you're just responding to risks that are in the news without any critical thought about greater risks that are not in the news. Visit London and have a good time, and be extra careful crossing the road.

            These are the 2016 UK figures for road casualties.

            Killed 1,810
            Serious injury 25,160
            Slight injury 157,400
            Total injury 182,560

            I think he needs to be more concerned with the risk of infection from wet bedding.

              deniers turn your heads away now, this is the beginning of civil war

              I wouldn't be surprised with a state of emergency and curfews

              I'll be cancelling the night with the family in Covent Garden in August

              Milan.
              We do have a government. There isn't civil war on the streets.

              It's sunny outside and perfect bbq weather. Have a go and smile and get on with things.

                Never let terrorism or other events stop me travelling anywhere (within reason).

                I can say I have been far more dangerous places than London many times for a variety of reasons.

                  I did cancel the family trip to see the archaeological wonders of Palmyra.

                      It's a difficult balance to strike for a leader with no human qualities.
