Where I live in London it isn't bad but I imagine it's worse up NorthThe Manchester attack being so soon after the Westminster attack is a sign that they're targeting the UK much more than previous times (which coincides with the warnings and threats made against the UK and other parts of Europe). The intelligence they have must make it look like something else is very likely to happen.
The Australian threat level is remaining at PROBABLE, which is in the middle of the five levels we have here. I know the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have reiterated their warning to Aussies about going to the UK and they've also updated their official advice to exercise a high degree of caution (which I'm not sure if it was at that level before the attack).
Having military on the streets will at least provide visible protection. I feel like having uniformed soldiers does make them a target though.
Just a question, I'm assuming that after such attacks there's tension in the UK between Muslim communities and those of non-Muslim backgrounds? Is it bad? I know here there is definitely tension and people have been abused simply because they are Muslim and people have been generalising that all Muslims are terrorists... we don't really hear about the UK much here so I'm just curious (and I know the PREVENT strategies kinda led to discrimination and mistrust between those communities and the police when they were implemented).
