And while the alleged terrorists plot was foiled, and they didn't actually kill or maim anyone, they have certainly damaged our liberty and knocked billions of pounds off shares. Ah, you may think it will only be the banks that suffer......but if you have a private pension it will affect you too. It may have damaged the tourism industry.......and they have had loads of propaganda courtesy of seamless news reports which all told us the same things. They took the police away from their normal duties.......spoiled the holidays and travel arrangements of many........Made people worry about going about their daily life....so they have in fact scored something of a victory.
