The official travel advice from the Australian government is enough to put people off coming here, but if you live here you would say it is safe:

*We advise you to a exercise normal safety precautions in the United Kingdom (UK). You should exercise common sense and look out for suspicious behaviour.
*We assess there is a heightened threat of terrorist attack in a number of European countries, including the UK.
For the record i maintain that London is not safe at all and its only a matter of time before we get another attack here in London from Muslim extremists

I cant do anything about it because i live here but i can certainly avoid parts of the Philippines like Mindanao for obvious reasons
