          As she mentioned its not hers to decide

          https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...reatlevels.pdf

          WHO DECIDES THREAT LEVELS
          The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) was created in 2003 as the UK’s centre for the
          analysis and assessment of international terrorism. JTAC is responsible for setting international
          terrorism threat levels and Ministers are informed of its decision.
          all this sh1t about her setting it to set her popularity is just that.

          grrr

              Seems extreme murdering children, so yes Andy is correct, an extremist. Probably had mental health issues too.

                ...posts moved from the thread about Wahhabism, on the grounds of not being on topic.

                Extremist Muslim. HTH. Not very bright, this Morrissey, is he? Everyone knows what the ideology/religion is.

                Concerns are that there is an Islamic Muslim bomb maker on the UK mainland. The Muslim bombers themselves are usually sad lonely inadequate people, often with mental health issues, as you rightly point out. The skills (and mental ability) that are needed to successfully pull of an attack like this are not usually found in conjunction with someone prepared to blow themselves into tiny tiny bits. Hence the search for a team.

                Question is, why wasn't he under closer surveillance, considering he'd just returned a few weeks ago from Libya.

                      I am also working from home today because I work very close to the area and know some people who were there.

                      Not on drugs, not mentally ill - rather frustrated though.
