Terrorist Threat Raised To 'sunstantial'

[Zacs-Master]

Never quite heard it announced on the news quite so quickly. Quite worrying.

Sorry 'Substantial'! Not another weather thread.

Never mind, Cammy is now off his surf board so all will be ok from our spineless leader.

She can't manage to send a persistent criminal back to Jamaica, so what chance does she have of getting rid of international terrorists.?

[Zacs-Master]

Nice link AOG.

[mikey4444]

LOL Zacs....although this may turn out be somewhat lacking in laughs. We have been here before. It is impossible to make a free country like Britain completely safe...fingers crossed from me.

Mikey, I think that's what Jan said

// Cammy is now off his surf board //

[mikey4444]

I beg pardon...she did indeed...apologies jan !

ZM, according to your link, the threat level of "severe" applies only to northern Ireland, with international threat remaining "substantial", where it's been since 2011. Or has it not been updated yet?

[mikey4444]

Mush...use the BBC News website...it is always much better at being up to date :::

TV news has advised that threat has now been raised to SEVERE. Mikey, apology accepted xx

[mikey4444]

Things are happening so quickly today jan !

[janbee]

Mikey, yes and it's all quite worrying. PM to make statement in 10 minutes.

[mikey4444]

I need to go out to the Post Office urgently, but I'm afraid to now !

Well who would of thought it. Now some of us can sit back and see our left leaning friends start running around in blind panic like chickens with their heads cut off. Those same heads that were recently quite well embedded in the sand.
Those who could see no reason why Hamas should not inflict their daily terror on a neighbouring country. Those who ignored my earlier prediction that it would soon be coming to a street near you. I,sadly, had to cite the case of Lee Rigby to put that point across but that seemed to fall on deaf ears embedded in the sand also. Now the threat is deemed substantial by M16 there seems to be an element of panic in the camp does'nt there? Hamas.IS, whatever their handle are the muslim brotherhood who's eventual ideal is to rule the world through terror. Get over it and get real. The writing was on the wall ages ago in this country when political correctness over ruled the sound reasoning behind stringent National Security. Keep calm and write a letter of complaint to Tony Blair.

that's where the government want you to be Mikey - if you're afraid, you're easier to control.

[vulcan42]

Substantial but not imminent, just the governments way of saying it's time to install a bit of fear into the country, then they will think we're doing something about it.

[mikey4444]

Oh I am not afraid of a terrorist attack here in Swansea...I am afraid I might miss something important here on AB !

The level was SUBSTANTIAL but has been raised today to SEVERE. Maybe mi5 are too busy locking their doors to update the website.
