Oh ffs, the woman complaining on R4 Today programme over the FCO changing its advice. Does she not understand how new information can change things. Plus the FCO does not "tell people what to do" as she claimed, FCO tries to inform so people and tour operators can make informed decisions and take responsibility for their own actions.

There's a phrase that doesn't get understood too often " responsibility for one's own actions."

No doubt the stupid cow will be claiming compensation for her tour rep not returning her call from last night by sparrow's fart this morning. No doubt she will want full return of the entire holiday cost despite admitting the security arrangements in her hotel are very good.
Actually that FCO advice leaves tourists out on a limb, if they actually WANT to stay and support the Tunisian people as some of them have stated on TV...

It's a shame 3 of them escaped and are still on the run, after the recent fighting in Egypt a bomb has gone off in Cairo yet I'm sure people will still try and argue it's safe there. I have no idea why people are still going on holiday to these places at the moment

The inquest into the British deaths in this attack is taking place at the moment.

guardian said:
Police officers “deliberately and unjustifiably” slowed down on their way to a mass terrorist shooting on a Tunisian beach, an inquest into the deaths of 30 Britons killed in the atrocity has heard.

A report by a Tunisian judge contains testimony that law enforcement units in the resort town of Sousse purposefully delayed their arrival at the Imperial Marhaba hotel on 26 June 2015 as a gunman opened fire and killed 38 tourists, 30 of whom were British.

Resuming the inquests into the deaths at the beach resort of Sousse, Samantha Leek QC, the counsel to the inquests, said the holidaymakers had “needlessly lost their lives” in the mass shooting.
guardian said:
An unnamed interior minister claimed police units delayed their response as the attack unfolded, the inquest heard. Leek said according to that witness “the police units, which should have intervened to stop the attack, deliberately and unjustifiably slowed down to delay their arrival at the hotel”. She said: “They had the ability to put an end to the attack before the police arrived but wasted a considerable amount of time in getting to the hotel.”
