I have an agenda. But, I like to think I am reasonably aware of when, and when not, to push it. I personally didn't think this thread was the place. If you do fine, no skin of my nose. I'll leave you to it.
1) I didn't say it was a thread to pay respects; I was trying to imply the tone was reflective.
2) As I said, there's a difference between a discussion and using it to push an agenda.
My point was this was a reflective thread dealing with and discussing the terrible events of today. For sure discuss security. But if you want to start pushing an anti-EU agenda then there's a separate thread. And before anyone suggests the contrary, there is a difference between discussing...
As an aside I'm flying tonight. Be interesting to see how security differs from pre-Paris, post-Paris and now. It visibly, and very noticeably, ramped up post-Paris.
Put simply it won't. Any public area, by its very definition, can be a target. And has been pointed out installing barriers will just move the crowd outside the public area; folk have to congregate somewhere.
Do you have to try and derail what to now has been a reasonably reflective thread about today's events? Can you post this on the EU thread or something?
I don't want to belittle what has happened today, but the chances of being involved in something like this are still incredibly incredibly slim. Life does, and has to, go on.
