why wouldnt rural area's be targeted, they would have longer to carry out these " low tech attacks " yes sure, they havent been so far ( excluding Michael Ryan in the 80's, maybe more, but his name springs to mind ) , but who knows
as for police cuts and funding, of course we need more funding for them, maybe if we upped a tax for the richer section of society
maybe thats a issue to take up with your local MP
