Well that's okay then. May as well let them pick us off, after all they are far safe than a car. Maybe the security forces should shoot all the the cars instead?

You really are dense.

There's a reason you're on 1999 rates, you know.

Wish I was still on 1999 rates. 750 p/d for a 6 monther, pre IR35, floated my boat for sure. Paid off most of the mortgage, and a blowout in Vegas shortly afterwards. I probably wasted the rest. Or drank it. Or a bit of both.

Can't call it a "Golden Age" when people are driving lorries into children, putting bombs in airports, cutting people's heads off, throwing them off buildings, shooting people in cafes and restaurants, week in and week out.

Didn't you read the article?

As the author points out, it's bad luck for anyone killed by terrorism, but hardly anyone in Europe is. You're, literally, probably more likely to be struck by lightning.

And not only did you get a low rate all your life but your wife took it all, eh?
