The real Glaswegian working class voice in the independence debate read by thousands, the BBC and other related media, secured the first criminal conviction against one of the seven top cybernats outed by the Daily Mail
There goes another one. Sorry, but responding with "don't let hate divide us" and "we've got one thing they haven't, which is love" and "if you respond, the terrorists win" doesn't cut it as a permanent response anymore. Hatred has by definition, already divided us if these attacks happen in the first place - and we've seen signs of right-wingers responding to it in kind.
And what is this bollocks that if you don't carry on as normal the terrorists win? Bullshit! The terrorists win if they achieve their objectives. By definition, that's how they win, And unfortunately love isn't enough to bring it to an end.
Make no mistake, Al Qaeda and the search for Bin Laden was round 1. They were pretty much mangled, now ISIS very much represents round 2.
Bar anyone convicted or possibly even suspected of terrorist activities or endorsements. Revoke the passports and expel those for whom the above applies. Continue to fight Islamist terrorists with police, intelligence agencies, surveillance, and Special Forces, rather than conventional warfare which isn't effective enough. Clamp down on Saudi Arabia, and all other states in the Middle East supporting terrorism.
Forget 'keep calm and carry on' or 'carry on as normal' or 'don't let hate divide us' (too late if bombs are going off), time to patch up what we can, and bring this to a firm conclusion because I am sick of worrying about my family and friends. (If I get caught in it, that's bad. If my friends or family get caught in it, that's worse.)

I have a few suggestions.
