It's effected me and Mrs Coops. Our eldest was right there, if he had gone outside of the pub it could have been him who got stabbed. As it was they were barricaded in with a woman who had her throat cut.
Strangely it hasn't effected him at all, he thinks we are stupid to even be worried as there are things that are far more likely to happen in a big City.
Maybe keep an eye out for post traumatic stress syndrome. Glad they are ok though.
That said, we have been so hugely desensitised to violence and terror both here and abroad by the media that we are not being as affected as we could be (imo).

A friend of mine was in the restaurant they pilled into with her family and the table next to her the guy got stabbed up. Literally a meter away from her.

He seems fine. We went up to take him out for dinner on Sunday, as I said Mrs Coops and me were very worried but he doesn't seem bothered about it.
The problem is he probably wouldn't admit it even if he was troubled about it as he likes to project a logical thinking self image.
He kept his mate calm by talking about films, he said that if a nutter with a blade attacked him he wouldn't be able to over power him using physical strength so he would have to use his brain and the way to get the best out of your brain is to keep calm and think rationally.

That is awful.
She is still in bits! She had to grab her father out the way as one of the guys slashed at him.
I'm trying not to be angry at it all and trying to tell myself that the past is the past (Iraq) and we need to focus on the now and just fix it. Controlling the internet though is not a solution in my eyes and stops us being a democracy. This is why I do feel that Tommmy Robinson does actually have a point and more needs to be done in Mosques and prison.s His video speaks sense in my eyes. I can see why people hate him but if people actually gave him an hour of their lives, be open minded, im convinced people will see a different side. He isnt part of the right winf EDL as they have lost their core values and he just points out fact after fact.
Sorry, im coming across like im trying to ram TR down peoples necks, im not, just wish people would actually watch the vide I posted

If you think more needs to be done in prisons (it does) then the Tories need to be held to account.
