The UK's terror threat level is being raised from "substantial" to "severe" in response to conflicts in Iraq and Syria, Home Secretary Theresa May says.
The new alert level means an attack on the UK is "highly likely", although Mrs May said there was no intelligence to suggest an attack was "imminent".
It is the second highest of five possible UK threat levels.

He does??? First he praises Islam and babbles about democracy. Could it be he is just trying to shore up his base, since his party is having trouble? Perhaps trying to scare the Scots into staying in the UK? He’s a weasel just like most politicians. He said nothing substantive. Just more blah, blah, blah...
Even with that bleak assessment, it is still miles above what Obama said.
I agree, except we should do some deporting. Assimilating people who adhere to an ideology that is incompatible with a free society can’t happen.
But it’s all just talk! Raising the threat level does squat. Like all British politicians, he is scared to death of the Muslims in the UK. He won’t do a thing to address the real problem of the enemy in their midst.
I heard somewhere it is a religion of peace.
Lucky for us our FBI is putting their resources into convicting a cop in Ferguson...
If they don't get that cop, God only knows how many black unarmed teen ages he might kill in cold blood... There's been thousands already, right? So says the idiots who told them the bullsh*t about the thousands of 'vast right wing conspiracy' lone wolfs. Put up or shut up FBI fools. We pay you FBI people to protect the nation - not to run stupid favors as the goon arm of the democrat party. Please protect us from another 9/11...
I wonder if this is partially done to take attention away from the muslim molestation epidemic in the UK?
Cameron is facing the voters on May 7, 2015 and the authentically conservative UKIP has been breathing down his neck in the polls.
Its time for him to put on a show for the voters, although the truth is a real threat exists from ISIS.
Didn’t know the U.K. had a lot of Amish.
Agree. Good analysis on your part.
The UK has a massive internal spying apparatus so effective that it was able to ignore for 16 years the pedophile pimps operating openly and notoriously before it.
I’m not hopeful that they’ll be able to handle anything.
a disturbing thought just hit me....
what is keeping these satanic nutjobs from simply traveling to Monrovia, intentionally contracting Ebola and then boarding a flight to Mexico City or Guatemala and then walking into the US?
(or other western nations like England)
biological suicide bombers with no need for chemical weapons, biological weapons, misslies, dirty bombs...all they need are willing martyrs.
could this be the new threat to England and at our southern border?
the fact that “southern border” has been mentioned as opposed to a city makes me think this is NOT about explosives!!
Doesn’t he?
It’s not hard to make a Rattlesnake look like a Rattlesnake.
