just watching my local news ( in the west county ) and Martin Surl ( Gloucester police and crime commissioner ) was just asked about the response time for incidents in the region (Avon & Somerset, Glos, Wilts ) the interviewer mentioned the area being maybe a " soft target " and was pushing for any idea of the response time ( with Saturdays London attack being 8 mins ) Martin Surl just kept on saying they had a plan in place, he couldnt comment on the response time, and you can draw your own conclusions

maybe it isnt just me who is slightly concerned about life outside the big cities
