So the UK is under threat by terrorists, nothing new there then. We underwent years of IRA activity in the UK with bombs going off left right and center, so to speak.
But is this mentioning of threat levels akin to how the USA regime works?.... in that to take away some public freedoms you have to make them feel threatened?
(Government's Counter–Terrorism and Security Bill - aimed at these religious warring types, but also allows the government to invade the privacy of any UK citizen).
I am wondering just how at danger a single member of the public actually is when at residence in the UK? ('Insignificantly' springs to mind). The government seem to be getting a lot of powers at the expense of our relative danger. All just opinion of course!
