Their title should read- Britain is preparing to go on red alert.

Holy crap!

It was also claimed last night that security services are hunting...

Claimed? Either they are or they aren't. This isn't rocket science. And the source would be nice, if not a name then a job description.

I expect there will be a large number of people being deported in the coming weeks......right into the hands of countries who have been trying to extridite them for crimes in their home countries. These people won't be just sent back to their own countries, they will be exterminated like the vermin they are.

Holy crap!

You Got that right!!

What is ironic is that the thousands of protesters that flooded London protesting Bush and American policy toward terror could be targets of such an attack. However, I'm sure if a hijacked plane was crashed into Big Ben these same protesters would say it was all Geoge Bush's fault.

Thanks for the flag.

The group attempted to buy 500kg of saponin, which could be mixed with ricin or another toxin to cause widespread poisoning if the concoction was smeared on surfaces in public places... the organisation making the order was funded by "the Islamic community".

*Yawn*

It appears the American Mediam, including FOX, would prefer to focus on something more "important", like Wacko Jacko.

Go back to sleep everyone. Better yet, go shopping!

The two leaders are understood to have agreed to step up the international effort to rein in al-Qaeda and the terror groups affiliated to it, particularly in states such as Saudi Arabia, which has been accused of being too complacent in tackling terrorists in its backyard.

Bumpity bump!

The Conservatives’ homeland security spokesman, Patrick Mercer, said the United States was taking terrorism warnings far more seriously, and major targets in Britain were not being given the same protection as the US embassy in London. He added: "I do wonder why the government can’t see the value of making people alert, training people in what to look for, and therefore creating in almost everybody who has got a set of eyes and ears a set of intelligence nodes, if you like, that can be aware of what’s coming and may be able to prevent this type of activity."

And I wonder why people refuse to look at the evidence and choose to act like idiots.

Bump. Can anyone explain?

is their red alert like our red alert? our red alert is essentially a ban on all travel, no one goes to work in the urban areas, only local travel is permitted, etc. is that what this is?
