Its a bad time, the reports say a good number of the survivors were seriously injured so the toll could rise again, I don't know what the answer is, but I honestly believe that opening the borders without proper controls was a knee jerk reaction and the wrong thing to do, not only does it allow infiltration by terrorists, but puts the genuine asylum seekers under a cloud of suspicion and makes them obvious targets for retaliation and revenge attacks, things could get worse when those refused asylum are told to return from whence they came, and I can see riots when they dig their heels in.

what I don't like about any of the terrorist attack is the way tv news say Death toll is 132 then say one Brit like the other 131 people don't count it was the same with the Turkey and the plane crash so many dead but 20+ are Brit's

Well surely if he's a British reporter broadcasting to Britain that's important to us, just like the other countries will be reporting their casualties. Nothing to do with non brits being as important. Of course it's a tragedy for everyone involved...

What I don't like about the news channels is they have been reporting on this for 48 hours now, non stop. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Maybe fewer staff at a weekend to cover other stuff, but really,.... there have been a few more news worthy happenings since Friday night which so far as BBC are concerned have not been touched, other than on the web.
At the same time, who told you to come out of your box Edd ?

We can only hope Cools. USA have been bombing Libya. Didn't know that was going on and they have killed the Libyan ISIS leader/commander. There is much going on that we don't know about, and probably just as well to be truthful. 15 African migrants been shot dead, north of Sinai near Israeli border.Another eight migrants had been wounded in the attack, south of the town of Rafah on the border between Egypt and the Palestinian Gaza Strip. All Cyprus migrants have agreed to apply for asylum there now, instead of being deported. Pity there was no help for Greece and Italy etc. at the start of all this. Who's idea was the Schengen agreement anyway ? Mrs Merkel is still not weakening , can't admit defeat.
If anyone is interested how all this globalisation comes together, have a look at the IMF, how it was structured and how the vision was of movement of nations amongst nation and all the things we see today, that have changed our societies .

Because they are nasty barstard ! According to this article, it could have possibly been a lot worse, or if they could have made him talk, Paris might been averted altogether ! http://www.breitbart.com/london/201...7s-grenades-tnt-paris-programmed-satnav/

Bombing Syria in retribution will just bring more subversive terrorist activity to our own shores, you could flatten the whole of Syria but it will turn into a guerilla war in other parts of the world.
If someone is caught with an arsenal of weapons in a peaceful place like the German case, as far as I'm concerned they have thrown all human rights away - electrodes in places they don't want them etc to make them talk.

Not sure what you mean DD. Do you mean that they could have used electric shock treatment for gaining information ?
He didn't talk, so the methods they used (if any) I'm sure, must have been according to human rights.
Must say, the bombing has a tinge of Bush /Blair tactics which didn't resolve anything. Not sure what the answer is on that one. Although, they have only bombed the training camps etc. No civilians.
