My impression is that it's only because the English won't let them.

A grassroots unarmed anti-terrorism movement modeled on similar anti-crime movements could significantly reduce the impact of terrorist attacks.

Unfortunately, the English mentality of a passive citizenry that leaves their personal safety to the government, in the hands of professionals, has undermined such grassroots organization; so, there's nothing left to be adapted from anti-crime to anti-terrorism let alone incentive to start from scratch. This also applies to Manchester which while it didn't deserve what happened and didn't want it to happen; nonetheless, was an enabler by just being English.

Now you know and knowing is half the battle. MI6 probably just shakes its head at MI5 and a docile citizenry that doesn't care to change it.

hypochondria?

Air, every one of those terrorists breath air. Probably drink water too, but that's not a given. I'll bet every one of the perverts showers nude.

Penises. Every single one of those violent fuckers has a penis.

That's what I said.

The brainwashed must do a pathetic god's bidding. Because a feeble god cannot do its own slaying. Why would anyone worship something so pathetic? Brainwashing. It works on adults who are still children.

An adult would have found a new argument by now.

Children learn by the rote method. Repeating reality is necessary. Eventually you will grasp it - or grow up.

You almost make it sound as though terrorist attacks are doing the British a favor by culling it's population.

Well they found a dandy way to get rid of him: let him blow himself up. Now they can devote the resources it would have taken to stop him to other causes. I'm sure the people of Manchester were on board with this luck of the draw approach as to where it might happen. After all, the odds were in their favor.

If you're not going to spend the money to fix all the problems, it makes sense to tackle the biggest hazards/killers in the country.
If that means none or little money to thwart terrorists, it won't be long before it climbs to the top of the charts... with a bullet.
