Very similar to hers. Most people today at work were of the opinion we had bought this upon ourselves in allowing so many Muslims in the first place. I think a lot of people would like to get rid of them but of course many are now second generation British born and bred but not British in their outlook or allegiance.

It is very interesting to notice that quite a lot of people have left up flags from the recent world cup and in fact we still have the St George's flag draped over our stores at work.

There is definitely a resurgence of British or English patriotism that I have not seen before in my lifetime. We are usually very good at putting ourselves down and criticizing and thinking of others as better but more and more I see ordinary Brits (English) wanting to be British/English and be proud of it.

This is a good and encouraging outcome, snugs. I imagine folks of your dad's generation are stunned to find Britain under a new threat, different from but equal to the one faced by your brave country during WWII.

That's good to hear, snugs.

Socialism and liberalism are the antithesis of patriotism, but when your lives are threatened by an outside force, it makes sense that your love of country would increase.......even if (unfortunately for many here), it is temporary.

I am praying that even this evil plot, foiled before it could be carried out, makes people think again about the apathy they have fallen into since 9/11.

I hope things remain peaceful in Great Britain.
