Loud Bangs heard in Manchester UK

Don't know where you live but I do know that people are feeling very angry at present.
Last week in the town where I live a 21 year old immigrant from Syria - yes, one of those 'children' we took in - raped a young woman as she was walking home.
I live in a town that is really quite tolerant, albeit with a reputation for being relatively violent - many people I know are feeling at the end of their tether and are ready, and very able, to take the law into their own hands.
From speaking to friends in various other towns and cities throughout the UK I suspect my town isn't unique.

I don't dispute that there is anger, and as I said there may well be some incidents. We are not yet at the point where there will be large scale disorder yet, but that doesn't mean that we tolerant and law abiding Brita don't have limits.

Can we just give up the Nutella and Gummy Bears, send them to ISIS and make peace?

History shows there are ways to beat terrorism and ways to make terrorism worse. Look how the IRA was sidelined, or ETA.
