Well it wont stop me going next June. These lunatics are everywhere now. Though i fully expect the 'van to be searched when we go.
I would love to know what became of the woman dangling out of the window. It looked like she might have got dragged back, but the bloke taking the footage got shot himself, so it stopped.

You are 100s of times more likely to get run over by a car than get shot. I doubt the security checks at channel ports will be much more comprehensive that they are now, how can they be without causing chaos for little result? We are on a day trip tomorrow for the Xmas beer/wine, £29 ret+6 free bottles of wine & diesel at 80p/litre, what's not to like?

Thats a hell of a diagnosis by just looking up her skirt 3 floors up.
On a serious note, for someone to actually know she was pregnant and report it, would suggest they obviously know who she is, and what became of her.

we came back from France yesterday. 8 cars in front of us at check in. Over an hour to get through security. Didn't bother us one jot as we have nothing to hide and common sense dictated that check in after Friday was always going to take longer so we left with plenty of time to spare before our train, security has been stepped up tenfold.
France is a very sombre place to be at the moment

No probs on the day trip today, the French cop at Dover did not look at my passport & nobody was being pulled into the inspection shed. The 07.35 left 15mins late due to weather, arrived more or less on time & straight off at Calais with no more checks.

Down to Boulogne, to Leclerc's, dinner first, cafe packed, everybody laughing & joking, shop was heaving as usual, loaded up with beer/wine/sangria/food, then to Aldi for more beer/wine, then back to Calais to Pidou to cram in more beer, filled empty tank with 80p/litre diesel & back to dock for about 17.40.

French cop looked at my passport, his 2 mates stood there toting sub machine guns & that was about the only thing unusual. UK immigration, just the usual passport check & on ferry by 18.20.

Back to Dover, customs were pulling in mostly foreign reg cars & vans but nobody wanted to stop an old white bloke with a car load of beer so home I went. Nothing to see here, just a normal day in France with everybody getting on with life as it should be.

I have such mixed views about all of this. Total tragic, totally unforgiveable but do we all need to join in the hysteria. We need to carry on, we need to pay as little attention as possible to these terrorists not play into their hands. I am thinking of all the people involved and their families but i dont see how changing everything that moves to the French flag will help.

I'm glad you posted that (I thought it was just me)...

Any half decent person would of cause feel great sympathy for those *caught up in what happened(..and also feel anger towards the people who carried it out?)

(*close friends of my daughter, knew a lad killed at the gig)

But watching the TV reports, it seemed to become a  media circus... with interviews with "ghouls",who had little or no reason to be there other for a **photo opportunity.

(**there was one "chic" young mum, with two small, bemused looking, kids posing and being re-posed umpteen times, whilst lighting candles and being repeatedly photographed by a photographer just a few feet from their faces....Why?  That can't be respectful, surely?.....

Why do people always have to be "SEEN"  when they  mourn nowadays?..be that in real life, or over social media?...

It's a 'story' like any other. It can't be just me that finds 24hr news the best 'soap opera' going, far better than East Enders etc. Fact is as per my previous post, life in France & everywhere else carries on as normal for those not directly affected.

I'm glad that little extra security is visible & one can can still leave & enter France by normal routes without hindrance or delay, the talk of 'closing borders' is daft, the borders were never closed. The only way borders can be closed is with barbed wire, mine fields & machine gun posts as with the former Eastern European borders.

We have to put things into context otherwise we will all end up quivering wrecks. How many people have died of cancer or heart disease in the last 48 hours, death is around us so celebrate life and and get living,whilst of course remembering those less fortunate than ourselves

My thoughts and condolences go out to all of France.

It breaks my heart at this, and all the other atrocities going on the world humans killing humans.

What makes me just as sad is the backlash of mistrust and bigotry aimed at the innocent peace-loving muslims, refugees and other ethnic minorites as a result of peoples fear and ignorance. Sad times.
