Attacks in Paris

Anniebach this is no time for a rant about either Britain or the US.This IS the time though, for a rant about the evil lot who call themselves ISIS.

Anniebach. I think that your last paragraph might be better answered on a thread of its own.
Though I dont think I would want to try answering it today, personally.

ISIS does not need the excuse of bombings in Syria, it would bring it's own brand of evil to Europe whenever it could anyway.Perhaps now all Western countries will join with Russia to rid Syria, and Iraq of these people.We can only hope! you have to wonder as well, if the Paris killers sneaked in from Syria along with the genuine refugees a few weeks ago.Europe can no longer have open borders.

I would like to say a big thank you to all those people around the world who try and keep others safe.

Dreadful news , My son and family live in France and have often been to concerts at the venue where so many people died,I'm very relieved that they wern't there last night !!

Alan Henning was warned not to go there, but he certaintly didn't deserve to die for doing what he thought would help people, neither did those working for MSF deserve to die, but no great outcry over America bombing a hospital then saying - sorry, it was a mistake.

All killing is wrong, why is killing of innocent people in the west so very wrong but killing innocent people in the middle east justified

Very impressive immediate response from Paris' armed police and the army.

Let's hope we are similarly prepared.

In our hearts and minds today

Vile beyond words. A Friday 13 th we'll never forget.

Perhaps revenge for the bombing of the MSF hospital in Syria

They need to be stopped! We should not have to live in fear, or worry when we leave our homes, for shopping or concerts etc, and sit worrying when our children or grandchildren,go out, It is disgusting, I knew Alan Henning, he was a friend of mine, and I could not believe what they did to him, all of us who live in Eccles, Salford, were and still in shock, and yet these idiot cowards are still murdering people!

Please don't make stupid comments celtic rose. France already is 'in the club' as you so crassly put it. Charlie Hebdo? Does that gain entry? I quite think its because of France's participation in the joint bombing of Syria, but we must not be cowed by these fanatics. I have plans to go to Toulouse next week, not looking forward to it as the city will be crawling with security but to cancel my trip would be to surrender to terrorism.

This is so shocking, I am at a loss for words, We came through two World Wars lost friends and family, and we have learnt nothing. All those poor people who have lost their lives, because of vile cowards
My prayers and thoughts are with those who, have been murdered and with their families who are left behind to pick up the pieces,

The world has gone mad. Thoughts go out to those who have to carry the burden of last night with them for the rest of their lives.

Totally agree with maggiemaybe re Police budget cuts by Theresa May. The Constabulary in Cumbria have been told to cut budget by £26 million, even the Police dogs are having to go! The Chief Constable says it is overwhelming and you could hear it in his voice.

It's terrifying to think these abhorrent people may have travelled anywhere under the veil of being a Syrian refugee. We need all the resources possible to detect and fight these wicked people.

My heart goes out to those affected in Paris.

Horrific

My thoughts and prayers are with all those who have been killed and wounded and to all their family and friends. So very sad.

I woke up to this awful news. I don't see what deterrents can be put in place as these young men go to these attacks knowing they will kill themselves. I don't see how anyone in their normal mind could do this. Makes me wonder if they are brainwashed and thoughts put into their heads. All those people out enjoying themselves for the evening. I think there is about six places now that we're attacked. It does make me scared to travel to another country now which is of course what it is supposed to do.

May these innocent people rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and friends. What is happening in the world is frightening. Don't let these people stop us living our lives.

Appalling and frightening. And a wake up call to Theresa May - stop slashing our police budgets!! They need all the resources they can get to fight this evil.

So sad ,what is happening to our world

Something drastic has to be done,bollocks to the do gooders.They target innocent people,they're not human.

Putin's got the right idea. Bomb the lot of them. Indiscriminately. All the gun wielding 'rebels' would probably turn on us at the drop of a hat. We can't single out the good from the bad. We need to protect our own.

128 people. Dear God!

How much planning does it take to pick up the weapons you've already got, go into an open city and shoot unsuspecting people? Evil bastards.
