For the security-conscious traveller

Steve.. What insurance company did you end up using ?

Crop, I went to confused.co and found a company called 1stoptravelinsurance.co.uk
They've charged me £43.74 for 2 people for the 4 weeks or so I'll be away.
The main thing I look for in a policy is medical expenses and been able to get back to UK if I need an air ambulance or whatever...

Thanks will take a look. I have used this company in the past - http://www.backpackinsurance.com/</a> Think I found it recommended on here years ago.

never mind the philippines, England looks more dangerous

I have no respect for the site. They don't seem to have developed appropriate criteria for posting an incident. If they are going to include every nut case who mutters the wrong words at airport check-ins, then their map will be a mess in no time.

All the same, it looks like most of the nuts are in the US and the UK. Some are even in government.

You gotta be joking, right? They put that on the Global Incident Map?

Remember, web sites like this are for paranoid people who are fundamentally not rational. So there's little point quibbling about finer points of methodology.
