I’M still trying to work out the sense of the media concerning terrorists.
After the latest terrorist attack, all I get when I open the newspapers or switch on the telly is a complete run down on the terrorist concerned.
Don’t the media realize that this is playing right into the terrorists’ hands by giving them all the publicity they could ever dream of ? It could be the incentive to many more future fanatics.
What should happen is that these people, if shot and killed, should be buried without ceremony.

WATCHING the story unfold during the terrorist attack I was so proud of the emergency and support services. Among the public too great courage and compassion came to the fore.
The well rehearsed lock down of parliament went to plan, after the initial surprise attack was nullified, and everyone deserves great credit.
I do wonder about the decision to just stop the London eye. If this had been an attack involving terrorists carrying automatic weapons it could have been a turkey shoot. Would it not have been better to disembark them and hold them in a safe place?
