editorial: Dangerous times

Listening to British tourists in Tunisia on the television news after the terror outrage on Friday it was certainly clear that they faced a tough decision. Should they cut short their holiday and head home and effectively give the evil terrorists an easy victory or should they stay just to prove that they would not be moved whatever happened? There are no heroes or cowards in this instance it is just a question of personal belief.  The tourists are the innocent victims and at the end of the day it is your own personal safety which is at stake. I think, if I was in their situation, I would cut short my holiday and return home. It could be said that I was giving victory to the terrorists  but I also believe that the Tunisia authorities have questions to be asked over the lack of security at what  could be described as top terror targets. This was a terrible outrage which once again underlines the fact that we are living in very dangerous times and we need to be very aware of this state of affairs.
