succumbing to my fears and never flying again.
I imagine this as analogous to what many Americans, aerophobic or not, are feeling.
It’s simply easier…

"..some residents in #Ballymena have started to mark their front doors to indicate their nationality to avoid attack.."
I lived in this town, Ian Paisley's home town and DUP core territory, for 3 years as a teenager. Not been back.

The last place to concentrate migrants, if that is what has happene…
