Bag's Rants

London prepared but rest of UK left with no idea.

I was looking at the website London Prepared. To be honest the link from the BBC took me to a site that left a lot to be desired. Look here. It was being revamped for release so this article was obviously a media pre release. But it should be up by now.

So based on the data we have in the article it would appear we have a one stop shop for Londoners. With data on all aspects of disasters and what to do. Excellent but it did make me think about the rest of the UK. Why don't we have one for my area. When the IRA were blowing things up it was not just London. London may be the prime target but let's face it they ain't going after the *cough* leadership. They are after civilians and civilians where I live are actually more vulnerable because we are not in a siege mentality.

One real attack, killing much less than the number killed by the IRA and we appear to have foiled a couple more. Yet we have changed our entire society to cater for this. So much undone in so little time. So much spent and so much wasted.
