The Telegraph ^ | 11/14/15 | Tom Whitehead

Scotland Yard has said the security services will be reviewing the terror threat level to the UK, while policing in public areas may stepped up today in the wake of Friday's terror attacks in Paris.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that the current threat level to Britain was at its second highest - severe - meaning that an attack is "highly likely".

But it could be raised later, after intelligence is considered and the emerging picture from Paris is discussed at the government's Cobra emergency committee, he suggested.

David Cameron will chair the Cobra meeting of senior ministers, intelligence chiefs and police, later today.

Mr Rowley said Scotland Yard had an officer in Paris, gathering intelligence and information on the attacks to share with colleagues in London. He appealed to the public to stay vigilant in reporting anything suspicious.

They should be. As should Germany, Greece, Austria, Sweden, etc.

And even right here in the old U.S.A.

They should lock down all muslim areas within the UK and France and perform security raids.

Yeah, I was looking at that thread about 20 mins ago.

All part of the plan, it seems. Chaos and debt to overwhelm America.

To us, it’s just a squiggle of magic marker or spray paint.

To a muslim, it’s the sacred arabic symbol for allah.

Be respectful of other cultures.

If seen on a public walkway, such as a parking lot or floor of a rest room, be careful NOT to step on it.

Prior to the attack, France had been on high alert since the January 2015 Ile-de-France attacks in Paris that killed seventeen people.

A rather long list of terrorist incidents from just this year.

Doubtful there will be any attacks now that everyone is hyper. They’ll wait until after the holidays when everything has been forgotten.

Too late England.
They have been there and raping your daughters for fifteen years or more.

You have protected them and pandered to them.
They own you.

I wish it wasn’t true.
I would love to be proven wrong.
I just don’t see it coming out good for you.

I know we are supposed to feel bad I have just about run out of give a chit with Europe in general. They are committing suicide. What can we do about it?

When someone is intent on killing themselves, the best we can do is make sure we aren’t collateral damage.

That and learn from their mistakes.

This is the culmination of decades of liberal stupidity.
It won’t be corrected in a generation.
The muzzie is great at taking the long view.
The western world not so much.

I now realize why God promised that the next time he would cleanse the earth with fire.
To rid it of the muzzie curse.

And yet the despicable fools in the British government and press will not admit the obvious huge mistake encouraging this obnoxious, belligerent, non-assimilating, parasitic, criminal trash to immigrate into their country.
