Paul Embery(@PaulEmbery):"We won't let them change our way of life," says just about every politician after every terror attack. Except that it's rubbish. Because our way of life *is* being changed in the most fundamental way. Whether it's Trafalgar Square or (as here) the seafront at Ayr on the west coast of Scotland, these grotesque barriers are a reminder of what we have lost. (H/t @GHWTowler.)
