A Very British Response to Terror
*New York Times report*
"These moments encapsulated something about Britains calm, defiant response to the threat of terror. Even as we face an increasing number of attacks, we are learning to cope with grief, loss and violence in our own way". "In the face of this, were choosing vigilance, calm and just a little bit of humor. And any fear projected on to us will be met with a very British response: Sarcasm". https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/04/o...l-right-region We won't be intimidated :-) |

The attacks in the US have decreased while they have increased in the UK. Thus, we are safer than you. Who truly isn't intimidated? Your perception is wrong, terrorism is up in the UK *and* the USA: According to two big databases, the number of people who died in terror attacks in North America and Western Europe rose markedly in 2015, claiming more than 200 lives. This year, according to one count, it is on track to be even worse. But terrorism in the West is rare. In the parts of the world where it is more common €” deaths in those regions are in the thousands rather than the dozens €” terror attacks appear to be decreasing. And as bad as terrorism has been in the West recently, it was worse in the 1970s and 1980s. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/16/u...-world-no.html |

The blacks there are extremely intolerant of white people. So I've heard. Best avoided. Memphis is the same. Go to Graceland. See the Pyramid. Don't stray from the tourist areas. The first time I was in Chicago, around 1973, the hotel clerk said 'Enjoy your stay. Just don't go south of Roosevelt Road.' I wanted to visit a friend at the University, which is a little enclave south of Jungleland, so I had to traverse it. |

I don't know how it is post-Katrina but NO was the same deal. Enjoy the French Quarter. Don't wander outside the cordon. |
