    Just a clarification: I didnt start this thread and didnt give it the name. Cojak moved it from Business/Contracts, however letting other completely irrelevant threads run free because her pals were participating.

    Cojak, a moderator is supposed to be unbiased.

    and this is not an advice. Just saying.

      We don't really care. We are just counting down the hours until you banned to be honest. If Cojak is guilty of anything it's the amount of leniency she's given you but it's the same leniency she has given many people old and new. Wait until my Mod'ship has been approved!!

        There's a difference between 'letting other completely irrelevant threads run free because her pals were participating' and shît.

          She moved it to General because you are being hysterical and scare mongering.

          The actual closest time I was to being blown up wasn't in London. However I don't avoid UK towns and cities because of it.

          When terrorists really want to strike fear into people they decide not to go for obvious targets, so be careful where you holiday and work in Europe.

            I live in the murder capital of Europe.

            I haven't been murdered.

              We should stay calm a move your life forward, just keep your eyes open.
              Panic is what the terrorists wants you to feel.

                I was working in Manchester when the IRA bombed it - not the actual Saturday tho. Also I worked right behind Strangeways when the rioting was going on, that was well eerie, police cordons everywhere and helicopters buzzing around. Think that was the first time I ever saw a helicopter.

                I've been to Moscow in USSR times, Romania in Ceascescu times, and Carlisle Botchergate on Black-eye Friday with Scots people - never any bother, where producing a Scots fiver was like signing your own death warrant....

                Whereas my youngest brother in Bolton only has to go down the street and he's been in three fights.....

                  My flat in Ealing was within the cordon when the Real IRA bombed the Carphone Warehouse, it added a bit of spice for a week or so having to explain to the coppers that we lived there so could walk through.

                  It was far worse during the riots, that was some scary stuff.

London is full of people belonging to the risk groups. I am afraid when I travel on the Tube, especially in the morning rush hour (which is in itself a horrible experience).

                    Anyways, it's the OP's choice. I am just saying....
                    So London is dangerous because the police foil all of the bomb plots?

                      Ill ask the question.

                      Did the IRA have legitimate reason to bomb England?
