There is less terrorism now than anytime in my lifetime. The world has never been safer.

Surely this isn't true?

Not having a go just be shocked if it was. I can't mind things like 9/11 or 7/7 attacks back when young. Or so many things like what's happened in France, Germany etc even Glasgow airport attract. I think the UK was safer years ago imo.

Depends where you lived. The IRA and other Irish republican groups liked to blow up parts of England on a fairly regular basis in the 80s and 90s. The 1998 bombing of manchester was a pretty big explosion that would have killed many people if a coded warning hadn't been sent shortly before it went off. And if we're talking UK then ulster was far from safe at that time too of course.

Also Lockerbie?
