What does scare me and cause concern is the attitude that we should simply abandon all concept of human and civil rights in order to protect ourselves from a largely non-existant threat that has been cooked up by the powers that be. I`m not saying that there is no risk of terrorist attack but various governments have attempted to sell us a steaming pile of propaganda.

Having been born in Belfast in 1971, not long after the start of ''the troubles'', I can honestly say, I feel just as safe now, as I did when I was a kid. When I was growing up it was ''normal'' to see heavily armed soldiers patrolling the streets, and body searches when entering Belfast city center. Now that we have ''peace''
its strange not to see the squadies on the streets, and the police not wearing body armour.
As to the possibility of attacks by Islamic terrorists, Tony 'The Liar' and his cohorts are deffo overplaying the threat. My only hope is that if the mad mullahs do attack the UK, then they drive a truck bomb into the houses of parliment. Bye-bye to all those lazy, lying wasters.
