      Why aren't they just getting a car rental/ferry and pop off to another airport?

      Or fly to a connecting country, why hang around, this is what credit cards are for?

        I would not compare hotspots such as Egypt, Israel, Turkey etc with France, Italy etc. You are right that terrorism can strike anywhere but you take calculated risks.

            Re the car option, I think they've rather boxed themselves into a corner with their dubious choice of destination.

              Issue here is that DC let the terrorists win. He could have arranged to fly everyone home.

              Anyway what is wrong with Bognor? I like Bognor! If the weather is nice....

                They could take a ferry. I should think the Somali pirates would welcome them....

                  Issue here is that DC wanted to bury, the headlines, regarding the snoopers charter and this was a good way to do it.

                    Even Spain has it's issues with some wanting to relive the days of the Moors, I wouldn't assume it is safe there
                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                      I never really felt safe in Sharm el-Sheikh when I went to be honest and that was 5 years back, the health and safety at the local water park was shocking.

                      I got Paraohs revenge the second to last day exploding bowels ....

                      Also one of the street sellers yelled at me "you are a very lucky man", so I turned round to him to see why and he said "because you have a very beautiful daughter" .... when it in fact she was my gf lol
