The UK terror threat level has just been raised from "substantial" to "severe"
The new level means a terrorist attack is considered "highly likely".
The Home Secretary claims it is in response to the perceived increased threat from international terrorism following the failed Detroit airliner bombing on Christmas Day.
Johnson stressed there was no intelligence to suggest a terrorist attack was imminent.
So they've increased the level to "highly likely" even thought they have no intelligence to suggest there's an attack imminent, but because of a failed bombing a month ago on a plane from Holland to the USA.
Anyone else confused by those seemingly contradictory statements?
Cyclops and the Postman wouldn't be ramping up the terror angle to make themselves look like Statesmen with a General Election looming would they?
Or even as a conduit to try and get the General Election postponed as the terror threat is "too great".......................surely not.
Just asking like.
You could be right Macbeth!.. Postman was hilarious, the BBC kept asking questions about what intell he had and he kept on going saying anything to get rid...his last comment was that we had still one level to go ..to "critical", sounded like what you said!. I think you could be right Macbeth, we may see some amazing political manipulation with people's lives by cyclops ..he did it with underfunding soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan so why would he worry about playing politics with terrorism to further his political ambitions...the man has no shame and his moral compass is the same one that Jack Sparrow had on the Pirates of the Carribean.
