PM Theresa May raises UK threat level to 'critical'
ITV ^ | Tue 23 May 2017

Posted on 05/23/2017 1:52:18 PM PDT by onemiddleamerican

The UK's terror threat level has been raised from severe to critical, meaning an attack is considered imminent.

Prime Minister Theresa May announced the decision from Downing Street.

The move means that military personnel could be deployed to support armed police officers.

"It is a possibility that we cannot ignore that there a wider group of individuals linked to this attack," Mrs May said.

She said that the threat level was under constant review.

"The change in the threat level means there will be additional support available to the police as they work to keep us safe," she said.

But she will still approve of her government hassling and arresting the likes of Tommy Robinson and others who are sounding the alarm.

I think the closes we had to the last night of the proms was Arthur Fedlers Boston Pops. Always love their 1812 Overture with the cannons.

...think it would be best for western nations to offer some sort of reward to get these folks to repatriate back to their homeland.

Pay them to leave? And what if they say, "No thanks." ?

Nothing personal, but the hell with that. I'd prefer we give every professed Muslim 72 hours to get their personal affairs in order, revoke their citizenship, then ship them to the middle east. By cargo ship, if necessary.

That's my mildest suggestion. Don't ask me what I really think we ought to do.

I want to do something that will have the least impact.

I also want to do something that can’t be used by the Left to bad advantage when they don’t like “Whites” for instance.

Provide these folks a home and a year or two of living expenses, and send them packing.

I get where you are coming from.

Is England - heaven forbid - approaching the threat level of “a bloody nuisance”?

These governments allow in thousands of Muslims then the same people in government turn around and warn their citizens they might become targets and might be slaughtered..

There is something seriously wrong with this.

Police are on the lookout for no groups in particular, and certainly no minorities of uncertain national identity.

I'm certain that the UKIP/Britain First chaps will be getting some close scrutiny in the days ahead.

The left is going to scream and holler if we so much as mention the word 'islamic', in relation to any islamic terror attack. A conservative can't even breathe the same air as those people, without them being 'triggered' into apoplexy - so what does it matter?

You can't do what needs to be done, and expect their cooperation. They'll fight the authorities every step of the way, no matter how delicate we handle this. It's who they are.

If they're going to scream, we may as well give them something to scream for.

That island has a history of being one of the most blood-soaked pieces of land on the planet. It will be again, one way or another.

Right now the Left is making White kids accept the “fact” they are racists based solely on skin color.

If we just pack up any one, revoke their citizenship, and ship them out, what keeps them from doing that to us, our kids, or grandkids?

They will look us in the eye and say, “You did it!”

I do not want to give them that opening.

I thing offering a choice many will go for, is a great way to obtain the goal. Yes, they can decline, but many will say yes. We would be able to decline too

The point us, you move people out with their approval.

Get rid of as many as you can cheap, and up the anti.

If only 25-50% accepted, that’s 25-50% fewer problematic people.

does this mean they open the borders completely and bring in every muslim in the world that wants in now?

Because that’s usually the logic liberals use.

The Biblical consequence for nationally legalized child sacrifice is invasion and conquest. To God that is the line that must not be crossed by any nation.

“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 24:3 & 4

The 2nd Amendment.

It's going to come to a fight at some point. A real, and bloody fight, where there's no question as to which tribe you belong to. Politics, feelings, and a thousand other considerations, are going to go right out the window.

We're already living in a state of war against a debased and evil alliance of forces that are determined to destroy America and Western Civilization itself. Problem is, only one side is actively fighting, at this point.

That state of affairs won't last forever. At some point, the normal people of the West are going to snap, and when they do, we'll look back on conversations like this and scarcely believe we even had them.
