Manchester Arena blast: 19 dead and about 50 hurt

RIP peace to all those that have lost their lives, and a speedy recovery to those injured. The latest update is 22 dead 59 injured, this again brings home to us that its a world wide problem.

We need to step up security in places where there are large gatherings of people, the last time i had my bag searched was when i was in the Philippines, its reported that there was no bags searched last night. When i went into Victoria Coach Station late last year there was no search & no scanner, when i went to Heathrow i only went through the usual scanners. I have had reason since March to visit Council offices, see council officials, visit large shopping Malls, again no checks anywhere, i realise we live in a free society but is 22 dead and 59 injured a worthwhile cost to have less security and retain our freedom?.

Negligence. Kiddies concert or no kiddies concert, security should be still at a high level especially in the current climate where terrorists are causing havoc all over Europe on a regular basis.
