Do you think that your government would do a fine job in protecting you? For instance, nuke is fired towards your nation. Do you think they'd do a good job in taking the nuke down?
I think that my government (USA) would do a great job in protecting me. With the technology we have today to take this stuff down, drones, military jets, SAM missiles, even military satellites, I think we'd be safe.
Let me know
They do try to keep everyone safe and happy but they dont always manage to do so.
There's only one way to know, and I can't see it happening anytime soon.
We never want that time to come!Quote:

It's not something I think about to be honest. England is a very safe country in my opinion.
I do with conventional means. Britain is a great power in terms of military and one of only three blue-water navies.
Other means, no not really. Not while Islamic mass immigration continues and we're subject to EU courts.
Lol @ Canada's government.
I have felt as though Canada's government has been idling for a while... At least that's how I feel.
This is what I would have just said to @Zak;s comment. You'd think with the mass immigration that it'd start to become less safe and secure - there's only so much you can do.Quote:

Not sure the govt's gonna do much if some rando tries to come and rob me or something, so I'm not really sure what I'm meant to trust them on (oh right those evil Muslims -rolleyes-)?
In terms of army... well sure I guess?
Meh, there's good and bad in everyone - I suppose you could argue that with higher numbers of migrants there's potential for more bad people to enter the country. Swings and roundabouts.Quote:

Exactly. The higher proportion of followers of Islam in a country the more terrorism/conflict. Undisputable. From northern Africa, to Arabia, to Persia, to India and Burma to East Timor. At war with everybody else for centuries.Quote:

If I wanted to live in a neighbourhood that resembled downtown Karachi then I would move there, not import it into a British city.
My comment was not sarcastic, London is THE global city and has been for a very long time.Quote:

I would much rather live in a culturally diverse area than a largely white nationalist, racist and xenophobic town like the one where my uni is! That is where I truly feel unsafe and not at ease.
Sadiq Khan is right, terrorism is part of city life unfortunately! A city where millions of people live is going to be victim to attacks from many groups.
Just because I've grown up around diverse people rather than just English people does not mean I'm out of touch, but shows you're intolerant.
The London lifestyle isn't for everyone clearly! London would be nothing if it wasn't for immigration
I agree with Dan that London is completely out of touch with the rest of England. I feel as though our country has a London first, sod everyone else attitude. As London is an affluent area, it's unlikely to experience the same issues that people have in say.. Coventry, Oldham or Bradford :P
London was an imperial powerhouse long before we had free movement of people. I do agree that modern London wouldn't be as powerful without it.
However! Terrorism is certainly not a normal part of city life.
Well, judging by how Trump to World War III, is Jewish, and the people behind all the massive debt and mass immigration are Jews - I'd say I have no faith in my government.
@lemons;
Your reply just proves what I mean. You dismissing a normal part of the country as white (as though that is somehow bad when this is a white country and not the Middle East or Eastern Europe), racist and xenophobic just because it voted Leave or whatever shows just how small-minded and out of touch you are. London really is guilty of what it accuses the rest of the country.
Try competing with third worlders for low paying factory jobs in a town that is down on its luck and see how tolerant you are then.
Just proves my point exactly.Quote:

Yes.Quote:

Can't be having bombs ruining that 'northern powerhouse' now can we.
I think my government is doing their best. That's all what matters. Whether they succeed or not, that's another story.
