Shocking to read of this horrific attack on Paris.  Another act of senseless evil.

So far about 150 dead and 55 critically injured.

The police say that all 5 attackers have been killed (most I think blew themselves up), although how they can be sure there were only five I don't know since there were attacks in various places.

My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the victims, and all the people in Paris and France who must feel stunned by this awful night of terror.

Conflicting info around at the moment?

This is truly shocking, an outrage, the pictures of bewildered looking survivors and a wider feeling of disbelief. This type of conflict is unacceptable and an insult to all who in the past sacrificed their lives in order that we may live in peace.

I don't know what the answer is but at some stage the greater world has to outlaw this type of action and put those who sponsor it beyond the law. We must develop a meaningful deterrent as well as a way in which conflict resolution can be made available to those with genuine grievances so that there is no reasonable excuse for walking into a room full of people and spraying them with bullets, there is no punishment on our statute that adequately deters such an atrocity. My thoughts and sympathy rest with those who have lost family and friends in France.

Blame the policys of UE.

Now here's a surprise.

It now appears that the Greek minister has come out and confirmed that one of the terrorists who was shot and had a passport passed through Lesbos on the 4th October this year. So much for these sad migrants that Merkel wants us to take in! We need to close our borders from all new migrants now before it happens here - but then again maybe its already too late!!

I see a petition has begun to do just this and I for one have already signed it... hope others do the same.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107516

I see its over 154,000 and rising very quickly

Do the people that write these petitions ever really consider what they are asking for?

I suppose they are asking for what the greater maority of people have been asking for many years - just as 4 million voted for in the last election! An end to these unwanted migrants, that alone will sound the death knell for the NHS!

Then again maybe others are quite happy to continue bringing in these animals that want to wreak carnage and enforce their medieval beliefs on all around them?

Probably not, crafty. This one is a knee-jerk reaction and all sorts of implications won't have been thought through. 

Home-grown terrorists are a big risk too.  What sort of petition will be started to deal with them?

These radicals are not representitive of Muslims in general however if the majority living here start giving information on those they are suspicious of I am sure people would respond positively.

I'm sure there are muslims now working hand in glove with the security services giving that kind of information
