The New UK: Police Release Counterterror Tape to Teach Tourists To Stay Safe

44

So much for the sunny, carefree days of summer, the rite of passage trips to Europe, the family travels down historical trails in the United Kingdom. Nowadays, terror is a reality.

Terrorism is a daily threat.

And terrorists have breached the walls of the West — so much so that U.K. police have created and distributed, via YouTube, a video to tell how Britons and others heading out for vacation might stay safe during their travels.

What a sad, sad sign of the times.

The Express notes:

The “run, hide, tell” safety video warns tourists to stay alert and provides instructions on what to do if gunmen storm their hotel.

The video chillingly echoes the attack in Tunisia two years ago where 30 Britons were among 38 people killed after a gunman opened fire at a popular beach resort.

The harrowing footage shows families with young children fleeing as armed police arrive at the staged scene.

Tourists are advise to “act quickly” and run or find a hiding spot if the safest route is blocked.

Detective chief superintendent Scott Wilson, national coordinator for the protect and prepare strategy, said: “As we saw in Tunisia in 2015 any westerner is likely to be a target anywhere in the world. That’s the sad reality of it.

“We’ve seen attacks in numerous countries so we are trying to say western tourists overseas should be aware of what they should and shouldn’t do if they are caught up in such an attack.”

Holidaymakers are urged to watch the video in the same way they would treat safety precautions on a plane.

Mr Wilson added: “The chances of being caught up in a terrorist incident are still low but sadly we have seen atrocities take place in the UK and abroad.

“So it is important everyone stays alert and knows what to do if the worst was to happen.

“We want people to think of this in the same way they do the safety film airlines show before take-off.

“They don’t expect anything bad to happen but it is a sensible safety precaution to show people what to do.”

…and when you “tell,” be careful in your choice of words. Don’t utter anything that could be construed as hate speech. Better yet, find a gun, point it at your head, and pull the trigger.

Yes, but a bit extreme to do so completely. As an aside, I see Pamela let you us the word Mohammedanism; I was blocked from Jihad Watch from using it in a comment, I suppose because Muslims don’t like it. (By the way, you spelled it incorrectly.)

Tobias, my dictionaries don’t agree with you. It can be spelled Muhammadanism or Mohammedanism, but not your way. You left out the “an” before the “ism.”
And I’ve never been called “Gordo” in my long life. Good luck on your writing.

Potential tourists should avoid western europe altogether, in addition to being violent, it is filthy, crowded, not maintained, and expensive. The world’s a big place, visiting to the ruins of western civilization a waste of time, go somewhere that is a vacation location, not an exercise in self defence and security.

If I was in charge, I would have closed the borders the day after Brexit passed, told the EU to go to heck, stopped enforcing EU law, and started checking carefully everything coming in. Allow commerce to continue, let the business people sort it out between themselves, EU be dammed 🙂

The video’s defenselessness mindset is pathetic. But, it’s understandable, given that people in the UK have no God-given right to self-defense.

This vid is further evidence that the UK authorities recognise that for people to be able to travel anywhere in the world these days, they have to be unarmed.

Off the top of my head and weighted according to popularity, the following destinations seem risky to visit.

America Kenya Thailand America Germany Sweden America France Britain Nigeria Indonesia Australia Canada
America Egypt Tunisia India Pakistan Bangladesh Burma Spain Belgium Turkey and America.

{Japan is not included owing to it being overcrowded, filthy, expensive, stinky and dangerous owing to 55 nuclear power plants built on a notorious quake and tidal wave zone while having limitless quantities of safe geothermal energy under their feet plus zero cultural or historical appeal as there’s only so many times you want to hear Sir Edward Elgar’s Nimrod played on a Japanese nose flute}. Oh, and why go all that way to eat RAW FISH {that glows in the dark}.

Sorry Yanks, if more of your blokes were like Wild Bill for America or Bonny on BNI, I would feel safe, but with all those loony tunes who voted an anti western, African Muslim racist Commander-in-Chief into the white house TWICE, running around free and armed, how can you blame me ?

The culinary delights on britainistan, beans on toast, deep fried everything plus bangers along with insipid warm tea and warmer beer, how can one resist? Well worth risking a terrorist attack for, britainistan, come for the food, stay for the bombing. Then there is the weather, often one day in a row without rain.

How would you know Nippon, you’ve never been there.

This year I’ve met guided and advised more Korean and Japanese language students in my home town and the Severn Sisters Country Park in the South Downs than ever before, they are all pleased to be in England. They come armed with and loving to read the following where such wondrous prose was written.

Sussex.

God gave all men all earth to love
But since our hearts are small
Ordained for each one spot should prove
Beloved over all
That as he watched creations birth
so we in Godlike mood
may of our love create our earth
and see that it is good.

So one shall Baltic pines content,
As one some Surrey glade,
Or one the palm groves droned lament
before Levuka’s trade.
Each to his choice and I rejoice
the lot has fallen to me
In a fair ground – in a fair ground –
Yea, Sussex by the Sea!

No tender hearted garden crowns
no bosomed woods adorn
our blunt, bow headed, whale backed Downs
but knarled and writhien thorn
bare slopes where chasing shadows skim,
and, through the gaps revealed,
belt upon belt the wooden dim
blue goodness of the Weald.

Clean of officious fence or hedge,
half wild and wholly tame,
the wise turf cloaks the white cliff edge
as when the Romans came
What sign of those that fought and died
as shift of sword and sword
The barrow and the camp abide
the sunlight and the sward.

Here leaps ashore the full sou-west
all heavy winged with brine
Here lies above the folded crest
the Channel’s leaden line
and here the sea fogs lap and cling
and here, each warning each,
and sheep bells and the ship bells ring
along the hidden beach.

We have no waters to delight
our broad and brookless vales
only the dew pond on the height
unfed that never fails.
Whereby no tattered herbage tells
which way the season flies
only our close-bit thyme that smells
like dawn in paradise.

Here through the strong unhampered days
the tinkling silence thrills
all little, lost, Down churches praise
the Lord who made the hills.
But here the Old Gods guard their ground
and, in her secret heart,
the Heather kingdom Wilfred found
dreams, as she dwells apart.

Though all the rest were all my share.
with equal soul I’d see
her nine and thirty sisters fair
yet none more fair than she.
Choose ye your need from Thames to Tweed
and I will choose instead
such lands as lie twixt rake and rye
Black Down and Beachey Head.

I will go out against the sun
where the rolled scarp retires
and the Long Man of Wilmington
looks naked toward the Shires,
and east till doubling Rother crawls
to find the fickle tide
by dry and sea-forgotten walls
our Ports of stranded pride.

I will go north about the shores
and the deep ghylls that breed
huge oaks and old the which we hold
no more than ‘Sussex weed’,
Or south where windy Piddinghoe’s
beguilded dolphins veers
and black beside wide banked Ouse
lie down our Sussex steers.

So to the land our hearts we give
til the sure magic strike
and memory, use, and love makes live
us and our fields alike –
that deeper than our speech and thought
beyond our reasons’ sway
clay of the pit whence we were wrought
yearns to its fellow clay.

God gives all men all earth to love
but since Man’s heart is small
ordains for each one spot shall prove
beloved over all.
Each to his choice and I rejoice
the lot has fallen to me
In a fair ground, in a fair ground,
Yea, Sussex by the Sea!

It just goes to show not all from the East are ignorant barbarians.

This ludicrous video put out by pansy-assed brits is a chilling warning to stay away from Europe entirely. Any “tourists” attempting to have a safe and enjoyable vacation better make it a “smart” vacation and stay in familiar surroundings , be armed, and by all means don’t entertain ideas of visiting any country run by cowardly morons. This creeping crud called Islam is everywhere, corrupting everything it touches and you have to be smart . . . stay where you have the best chance of surviving.

Why do the European nations allow the EU to dictate the genocidal acceptance of the invaders. Belong to an organization should not give that org. the right to dictate policies that will destroy its members. Maybe Europe needs to study the Declaration of Independence.
