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.Originally posted by milanbenes View Postyes, 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

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.
