Turkey is in the process of changing from a relatively educated and safe secular state for the last 94 years, after Ataturk changed its constitution.
However, under the dictatorship of Erdogan, Turkey is fast becoming an Islamic state where anyone who says anything other than what Erdogan wants to hear, will be jailed.
Erdogan has suspended the European convention on Human Rights. How far will he go to oppress Turkish people, will he kill his own people for disagreeing with him. How far will he be allowed to go? How far is too far?
Strangely enough, Angela Merkel has let the prosecution go ahead of a German comedian who read out a poem about Erdogan.
What plan has Merkel got, as it seems her journey is very different to many others in Europe.
Thank goodness we live in a civilised country. You wouldn't see Britons and Americans going around needlessly killing folk.
Oh hang on.....
I hate war it makes our life upside down, to stop it!
i wouldnt want us to mess with turkey as it would kick off world war 3 i reckon. how about we start with malta and work our way up to bigger countries when we are more confident?
Just looked it up, and from the start of the attack to the police shooting him dead was less than 15 minutes.
Unless the national police were literally waiting for him at the place he was going to attack it is difficult to see how their presence would have made much difference
The entrance to the promenade should have be blocked off, with a checkpoint established and patrolled by the sufficietly armed national police (there is a state of emergency in force). Instead the entrance was left open with two local officers standing by. To the point, it would have made a massive amount of difference as no vehicle would have entered that area.

I agree, although it must be a nightmare trying to balance freedom and security, plus how far do you go? Take airports for example, we appear to have managed to stop the buggers sneaking stuff through security so instead they target the non-airside parts. Next step is to screen anyone going into the arrivals/departure hall. Then they'll be hitting the car parks, where do you stop, Tescos?
It is literally meaningless claiming what should have been done in Nice.
The police forces can only do so much.
You cannot have mass forces protecting every celebration on Bastille day.
It is impossible.
And the above poster that says the news has been boring wants to switch off the welsh news.
Stories about people stealing traffic cones when hundreds of thousands have died in the middle east in the past 10 years.
If Ukraine is anything go by. Most large nations will do all possible to avoid direct conflict now.
Struggling to see who in europe would fight each other. Or why any european would fight other countries.
The past 10-15 years in the middle east will be talked about in a hundred years time.
