Travel Info I want to go to Selfridges tommorow but do you think it will be safe what with all the bomb threats etc? Travel Tips We can never be 100% sure of anything in this life. But what I will say is that we CANNOT let fear of terrorism ruin or impact on our everyday lives, if we do that THEY have won. It makes me furious to think that these deluded people can try and control MY life in MY city. B***ocks to them. The one thing after July 7th that warmed myheart was the WE ARE NOT AFRAID website. Go to Selfidges, enjoy yourself, and don't dwell on what may or may not happen. Just keep thinking up yours, this is my home and you won't change my life. Others as safe as any journey anywhere in the world Terrorist bombs have gone off in Glasgow (recently), Manchester, Guildford, Birmingham, Warrington. The last 4 may be a few years ago and by the IRA, but terrorists like to strike where unexpected. Life goes on - Londoners are made of sterner stuff, and don;t cower away. To coin a phrase by John McEnroy "You cannot be serious?" you can never be 100% sure but are you going to lock yourself indoors for the rest of your life? Yes. Arab terrorists are pretty lame off their own turf. The last effective terrorist acts in England were the tube bombings of '05. The IRA was much better at it and even they didn't kill a lot of people. Just watch out for the common crooks and you'll be ok. Your ancestors had to deal with buzz bombs and the blitz. And that didn't keep them away from the good sales. Terrorist threats are nothing by comparison. Shopping is too important to let a few killjoys ruin it for you. I would imagine the odds of being blown up are akin to the odds of being electrocuted using the kettle, or being knocked down crossing the road, or falling out of the sky in a plane, or sinking in a boat. In other words, life is full of minimal risks; get on with it and don't be intimidated by scum. |
