OT <PING> Hecate – Are you and yours safe and well?

Just a quick, off-topic, post:

Here is hoping that you, and yours, are all safe and well. IIRC, you are in UK, but cannot recall if in the London area.

Most of the US feels the British pain, and are thoughts are with you.

Thanks Hunt. We live in North East Hampshire. As it happens., my partner’s sister flew in from Madrid that day and was about an hour after the bombs had gone off traveling into London from the airport . Thankfully we don’t, as yet, know of anyone who was in the blasts. But we aren’t surprised – we’d been expecting it. And if the bastards think that we’re going to change anything about our lives because of what they’ve done, they’re sorely mistaken. But then, if they had a brain, they wouldn’t be doing this in the first place.

I’m very glad to hear this news. We have checked in with all of our friends in London, and, so far, each averted this attack, if only by moments, or change in plans.

Regardless, sympahty to all and to their families.

That’s good.

Perhaps many people outside the UK don’t realise that we have been suffering things like this for decades. I was a few hundred yards away when the IRA exploded bombs in two bars in Birmingham England in 1974. The IRA blew up many of my company’s offices in 1996. And perhaps a million people in the UK have been closer than that over the years, in many other incidents.

We’ve demonstrated that terrorists won’t win in the UK. But we have to ensure they won’t even damage our way of life.

Yes, exactly, which is why I am against ID cards.
