As I sit here awake at 5am, my thoughts rest with the global threat from this IS organisation. What new horror will face me later when I turn my TV on? Of course I know well this is the desired effect these terrorists aim for and on this front these lunatics appear to be winning the conversation at the bus stop, in the post office, at bingo between games, in the doctors’ waiting room.

But where will it all end? Indeed will it end?

This is a very serious problem we all face, high and low, black or white, Muslim or Christian. Yes, anyone seems fair game to be kidnapped, paraded on TV and beheaded. How soon before someone in this country is taken at random and murdered?

I worry for the people who feel the need to travel abroad and hate to think of them falling victim to IS terrorists. What’s the answer? What a situation we are all in.
