Sadiq Khan has said he believes the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city” and encouraged Londoners to be vigilant to combat dangers.
The Mayor of London revealed he had a “sleepless night” after the recent bombing in New York, and said major cities around the world “have got to be prepared for these sorts of things” to happen when people least expect them.
“That means being vigilant, having a police force that is in touch with communities, it means the security services being ready, but it also means exchanging ideas and best practice”, Mr Khan told the Evening Standard shortly before a meeting with New York mayor Bill de Blasio.
“Nothing is more important to me than keeping Londoners safe,” Mr Khan said at the time. “I want to be reassured that every single agency and individual involved in protecting our city has the resources and expertise they need to respond in the event that London is attacked.”
“The terrorists are evolving their tactics and we have got to evolve our response to them all the time. I am afraid the consequences of a terror attack are very very scary. They want to kill. They want to maim and terrify. It is my job to try to make sure that we are as safe as we can be.”

The point is that he is trying to normalise it.
I don't know about you, but I shouldn't have to worry or be on extra guard about some crazy nutcase who believes in magical fairies from running me over, blowing me up or some other way of harming me in my every day life.

RIP to all the victims.
How despairing it is to live in a time when **** like this no longer surprises or shocks.

Nothing to see kids, just the fortnightly european terror attack.
Anyone else have their head on swivel when walking around busy areas near roads these days? It's actually no longer paranoia, just smart.

nothing to do with Islam
Every time threads like this pop up I get taken back to my childhood and the teletubbies with "Again, again"
RIP to the victims and hopefully the scum are caught and locked away instead of having their 72 sisters and daughters to play with in Goatsville.
