Ye gods, what is wrong with the world..?

My wife and I have travelled to many places and we always take note of what the Australian Government says in regard to safety. But now we are being warned that going back to where we were brought up is to be considered dangerous.
What is wrong with the world? In what alternative universe could I ever imagine that I'd be warned about going back to, what in some senses, we call home? Or at least, used to be home. Not in Palestine or the Lebanon or Venezuela or Myanmar, but the United Kingdom.
And the fact that Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia, places where they've often been a concern regarding safety, have also issued their own travel alerts for the UK is...depressing.
