On seeing Piran harbour for the first time I couldn’t help but notice black flags flying on many boats that were moored there. The flags, which appeared to be made out of plastic bin liners reminded me of Pirate Ships. I wondered what they were for.
Later in the week I heard a tour guide explaining that the black plastic flags were placed on the boats to scare away the seagulls. This is in an attempt to stop the seagulls stealing fish from the fishermen.
Might be ISIS coming.
When people see ISIS in innocent fishing vessels it means the terrorists have won, they have caused people to be fearful even in places where there is nothing to fear.
The terrorists have achieved their aim in creating fear, causing people to react rather than think rationally…
