The UK had over 350 deaths in one year alone! Really reminds one what the UK was dealing with during the height of the conflicts in Northern Ireland.
Also helps me at least understand why the UK feels a little more fortress like (cameras everywhere, very strong intelligence services, my fellow Brits also seem quite supportive of surveillance measures). They've been dealing with terrorism for 40+ years. Just as I noticed a massive shift in mood visiting the US pre-9/11 vs post 9/11 I wonder what the national mood was like in the UK before the violence spiralled.
