For me personally, it isn't really a great surprise, after all we (the western world) are in effect at war with ISIS. OK a lot of people (sheeple) may not think of us as being at war, but you can be guaranteed that those in Iraq and Syria who are being attacked by our war planes; missiles; drones and special forces will very much feel like they are at war with us. Just because we are located a few thousand miles away, doesn't mean that we are immune from retaliatory attacks, which is what I believe this was.
What does surprise me is the lack of attacks in/against the UK, the closest we've had is the Tunisian attacks, but I would expect to see a lot more of these types of attacks anywhere in Europe in the future, but particularly in/against France/UK/Holland who are the main European countries striking ISIS.
What can we do to protect ourselves? ...... carry on as we are and keep out of the major towns/cities/transportation hubs etc which are always going to be easy (high profile) targets.
With regards to lack of (UK) prepper chatter, what is there to say, it's been an horrific event and I'm sure all our thoughts and prayers are with those affected, but ultimately for me nothing changes, nothing at all.... is that bad?? Should I be doing things differently or changing my plans? I don't think so, but what do others think?
