Is London safe because the people of London stay more home out of fear?
After every attack, the only people who will be out in the street are muslims according to local reports and mentioned on TV but of course the mainstream PC will not show these images.
"Safest city" for how many times has it been in highest alert?
Well, you have a point. The safest city would never have an alert, their mayor says some pretty outrageous stuff. I'd watch my back, but I wouldn't necessarily feel unsafe. I might practice hurling pint bottles, wouldn't want those Brits to show me up.

I doubt any large UK city is safe from terrorism. Perhaps London is the safest (in the UK) but that isn't saying much after this weekend's terrorist attack/s.
I missed that time. I first came to London in 1989, and have been coming there ever since, so it been almost 30 years.
But my husband said when he was in college, some of his Pakistani acquaintances shared their vision of caliphate and he didn't believe them then, he does now.
London was more dangerous in every crime statistic in 1989 than every crime statistic since
2010. In fact London had twice the murder rate in 1990 in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
BTW my suburb consistently gets two to four murders per 100,000 and although non of those are random and maybe one or two is gang related (My suburb has 300,000 people), that is still more than 90% of London. Even the most dangerous parts of London are at worst as dangerous as East Austin, Texas which is considered the "hood" in Austin and is still very safe compared to most hoods.
And you think it will end now??? At what point do you people think ISIS is an actual threat? These attacks are going to keep escalating until they put a halt on taking in refugees. How you can't put two and two together baffles me!
They think they are the "three wise monkeys." In reality they are, indeed, blind, deaf, and mute. I'm not sure what kind of mental gymnastics it takes to be blind to the obvious, but they certainly have it down to an art form.
If it were something like kids getting hit at a crossroads with improper signals (or whatever), you would never hear, "This is only seventeen children being run over per year. You're more likely to get hit by lightning. We have more important issues to deal with" You'd NEVER EVER hear that. But something in their heads just doesn't click with this situation. And I'll tell you what I think it is: they know it really upsets "the evil western culture" and "the establishment" (and of course conservative types). That makes it okay. Killing is okay, as long as it is in some form aligned with your political philosophy (in this case "diversity"). One day that diversity is going to bite them in the ass.
It is not going over well in the UK from all that I have read. Trump was already not popular there. His actions in the last 48 hours make it even worse. I am thinking he will not be warmly greeted there when OR if he ever visits as POTUS.
The Mayor of London is happy to attack Trump, he is not in any sense an ally or supporter of the United States or even the United Kingdom. He wanted to pull London out of the United Kingdom after the brexit vote. He doesn't care for the counter punch. Similar to Kathy Griffin.
He is an idiot. Why can't his handlers close his twitter account. It does nothing but show how much an idiot he is.
