Hey up, another 'terror threat'.

Here we go, 'another terror cell' is up and running to relieve us of our heads and limbs.:rolleyes:, or could it just be another government load of crap to move us away from thinking of the other news today.

Jacqui Smith warns us
the threat is "severe" - meaning an attack is "highly likely" and "could happen without warning".
Is she talking about an an imminent terrorist attack, or another 'package of measures' from Crash.:D

    This story smells more of bull than "chemical bomb" to me! Distraction tactic I reckon ;)

    I was expecting to read about new powers being requested or put in place that could then be used for any purpose they wish in the end e.g civil unrest about how the economy of the uk is down the pan.

    You can see Jacqui talking to her family last night, in her bedroom next to her £200 lamp table softly lit by her £120 reading lamp she got from John Lewis.

    "errrr, you reckon they are gonna talk about my expenses again? What can I do....oh I know, frighten the pheck out of the population and point their thoughts in the direction of anyone with a backpack".

    Simple choice ....

    do you worry more about the 'external terror threat' from actual terrorists
    or
    'the internal terror threat' - an erosion in our freedoms and the escalating cost of meeting these perceived threats

    Some would argue the terrorists are already winning.
  • Obviously she is referring to British Citizens that are planning a march on Parliament Square.

    These home grown terrorists must be stopped at all costs.

    Action has already been taken by training an additional 60,000 hotel workers to snitch on any people booking in larger than a group of 2.

    Yer, we better take some more liberties. After seeing the political unrest in France, maybe they should ban protests anywhere, to protect us all?
