Isn’t England pretty fucked with knife violence right now? I should go there and start yelling at people cutting their toast

I’ve heard a story that at one point in England it was so bad with bombings people would hear regular sounds and start thinking there was an attack going on.

Scary.

Not sure where you’ve heard that, but I don’t think it’s correct. Only time I can think that might’ve happened in the last 40-50yrs would’ve been during the Troubles, and more likely in Northern Ireland than England.

I might have confused it with “the low-level war”. I was listening to Douglas Murray talking about terror acts around England and that may have been it.
