Britain raises its security alert level to critical - the highest possible level indicating terror attacks are imminent.

C'mon...tell us how you REALLY feel! lol
....”You Brits need to wake up and smell the Chicken Pot Pie....”
This country has been under attack from so-called ‘freedom fighters’ stroke terrorists in one form or another etc. etc. for over 30 yrs. The people of Britain don’t need to ‘wake up and smell the chicken pie’.
The powers that be in Britain choose to deal with the problem in a different way than the US. It has to because it is difficult for her to isolate herself, due to geographical differences.
Britains security services don’t have the resource of the US, so it would appear that they choose to surveil the terrorists closer to home.
Right or wrong? ...I don’t know!
I’m sure the Brit Gov would love to deport these people back to whence they came, trouble is these people come from places like London, Bradford, Leeds, Birmingham, Luton etc. etc.
The civvy attitude in Britain is that terrorist attacks will happen. No worries!!!!!
(The old Blitz character still shines through)
My feeling has ALWAYS been, don’t be afraid to take a necessary step for your survival, START DEPORTING THOSE DEEMED TO BE HIGHEST-RISK FIRST, then maybe the lowest risk will straighten up and realize that THEIR survival also depends on their policing the homicidal bad eggs
among them. If they don’t do this, they should ALL be deported. As pathetic as our stance is toward the enemies among us, still, I would hate (actually I’d love) to think what OUR response would have been to bus and subway bombings such as happened in London. I daresay no mosques would have been left standing within 72 hours.
Prayers for Britain.
It is time for the West to get nasty.
I am not sure of the strategy we should use. but I know that we need to regroup and change direction. “NOT in the liberal redeploy to Okanoawa way”
“By Chicago way, you mean if he beats up one of your guys, you put one of his guys in the hospital, if he puts one of your guys in the hospital you kill one of his. For everyone of your guys he kills, you kill ten of his?”
The way of the Brits long, long before there was a Chicago.....
Still, a great idea, shoulda started a long time ago....
“Do you think the timing of these attacks a related to the new PM coming on board?”
Yes.
“If they turn tail now, it will be Spain revisited for sure.”
Theres a saying in Britain, “things never change, they just stay the same!”
“.......Put troops on the streets - and start rounding people up.”
This is exactly what we don’t want. These things have a bad habit of getting out of hand and turning nasty.
Nothing has changed in over 200 years except the tactics of our enemies. It's time we changed our tactics.
If the US deported all the illegal Mexis (yes, people die from regular crime, not just terrorism) this country would be a safer place.”
I could not agree more!
I wish I could find the link without spending hours looking for it but I do recall reading recently about the large numbers of Hispanics that are converting to Islam. It was rather disturbing to say the least. Not to mention how the ME’s are moving here and spreading like a cancer. It’s just a darn shame we not only continue to allow it but how some of our politicians want to encourage it.
"Remain calm folks. Don't worry! It's just Bush's bumper sticker war. Fear not! All is well!"
Who's to say they haven't been?
My comment was in answer to the turn tail, spain revisited post......
Anyway, judging what you said, you actually agreed with the saying as you’ve more or less said the same...
Anyway, what the hell would I know, i’m just a lowly 17yr service Brit army Colour Serjeant.....
Tactics differ between western nations. With the Muslims it’s always been the same, death by martyrdom followed by the ‘elusive’ 72 virgins that never come.
In my experience the US take the ‘don’t come to us, we’ll come to you’ approach, while the Brits take the ‘keep your friends close, & your enemies even closer’ approach.
We’re seeing this approach backfire in the country now. It has always been the most effective, that is, until your enemy becomes so close you lose focus!!!!!
“....Seems he just disappeared one day.”
Dead I hope!!!
“Their most probably attacking UK ‘cause of that Knighthood thingy. More so than British presents in Iraq, IMHO.”
IMHO, I would say it’s neither Iraq or the Salman Rushdie ‘affair’.....
Can you send me a link / decribe the story that those patch pictures are from? I see they’re from NR. Thanks.
“They are attacking Britain because they can.....”
Yes, I know. I was answering another comment that asked whether it was Iraq or the knighthood of Salman Rushdie that has sparked these attacks, an I said neither.
“I don’t honestly know why it hasn’t happened in the US yet”
IT HAS
“We don’t have any Muslim slums, and they haven’t taken over any cities or boroughs in America as they have in Scotland and the UK....”
I’m sorry, what part of the UK do you live???
I Live here and haven’t seen a Muslim slum or any city or borough that has been taken over by them.
In case you didn’t already know, Scotland is in the UK.....
