Heroes For Our Time seems to be the phrase adopted by the press when reporting various acts of bravery performed by members of the public and airport crew in regard to the terrorist attack on Saturday. These are ordinary people who disregarded their own safety to save the lives of others and I think the nation owns them a huge debt. Things are slowly returning back to normal here and the security level has dropped to “severe” from “critical”.
Scots are being urged to be more vigilant but the underlying feeling seems to be one of determined resolution not to live in fear. As the holiday season gets underway, Scots are refusing to cancel their holidays and the airports are as busy as usual for this time of year. I’d like to say there have been no revenge attacks on Muslims but that is sadly not the case, however it seems to have been limited to a few idiots who really didn’t need much of an excuse anyway. We still don’t know why Glasgow was chosen and the favourite theory seems to be about Gordon Brown our new PM who was born there. Who knows? Anyway, theories aside, this is our message to the terrorists:
YOU ARE DEALING WITH SCOTLAND NOW. HURT ONE OF US AND YOU MAKE FIVE MILLION ENEMIES. WE HAVE SHED BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS TO PROTECT OUR LAND AND WE ARE PREPARED TO DO SO AGAIN. BE WARNED!!!
I’ve been thinking of you all the time and a news on Norwegian TV reminds of what tragedy this is. I’m glad you don’t give up though and stand up for your rights. The free world should stick together in this and fight the unfair of this blind violence!

I was watching TV yesterday evening when they spoke about the terrorists! How is it possible!
medecins who have a marvelous job, families… Why? They tried to explain The “Why” of this! Are they human persons still???
Scots have the good reaction! In such circonstances it’s the best to do! Not live in fears!
